Has it got a breather kit on it?

If not it would be highly recommended at that level of tune

I've had an oil leak (amongst many) near the front of the engine (just above the dizzy), build up on the head gasket in the corner allowed oil to seep out. Glad I got that sorted before I went really bad.

Remember, oil stops your car rusting, so it's good to have a few leaks

Favourite places for oil leakage on Cossie engines:-

Cam seals
Cam cover gasket / half moon seals
Front crank seal
Dizzy seal
Oil pressure sender block
Turbo oil feed unions
Turbo oil drain pipe
Poorly fitted breather kits
Sump gasket
Rear crank oil seal
etc etc..........
