My son has a 1999 1.7 puma. I recently found a oil stains by the timing belt and the belt itself looked discolored so i changed the timing belt and the two camshaft oil seals and crankshaft oil seal. Also changed the rocker cover gasket. All was ok for a couple of weeks but now the problem seems to have come back. Is there anywhere else that the oil could come out from that i might have missed. Could do with some new ideas. Thanks.

Side of the head gasket? How much oil are you getting? A misting or is it actually wet?

Well it looks like a misting but it works its way down and drips on the floor. I think it is collecting in the lower timing belt cover then the belt gets contaminated.

sump gaskets are also common on these

Do these have oil fed VVT?

There is an oil gallery blank on the side of the block that works lose I've had the same problem a couple of times. Think it is a 5mm Allen key.
