As the others said nothing really to worry about. I took the rocker cover off my track car last month and it was mayo central! But only because the car had not been used much and when it did run it was only for short journeys.

Thanks for putting my mind at rest, like you guys say it looks like condensation as there is hardly anything in the sump which is the first place it would accumulate if the water pump seal was compromised.
Will get it cleaned out and run the engine long enough to evaporate the condensation

I seem to have read of quite a few Luders who have put their cars through MOT and now its my turn
Yup, finally got my ABS functioning by using an ABS computer and 22pin connecter bought from Cebul (thanks mate
) I depinned the 26pin connector and repined the 22 using only the wires as shown in the standard Lude ABS wiring diagram, low and behold it started functioning like it should and now the MOT is booked in for 2 this afternoon.
Wish me luck

Nice one on the abs front. When can we see this at shows. Maybe touch you and the k20.

I'm a little scared of this Ratty fella... lol
Well got some bad news, failed on two items, inboard steering rubber split, & emissions. Lambda value is ever so slightly out at fast idle and the CO emissions were out by quite a bit. 1.1% and the max limit is 0.3%. They reckon the CAT is the culprit for the CO but I also think the IAT's of 60c doesn't help, I think the car runs richer the hotter the IATs get..

Good job on the ABS matey
. The CO is indeed controlled by the cat. if its high, there is a good chance that the cat is fubard
. The lambda is controlled by the Oxygen sensor. So may not be working 100%. The engines computer will lean out the mixture as heat rises, to protect from pre ignition, and to keep the AFR in check
. Inlet temps don't usually affect the MOT emissions tho
