Typical 6 cylinder Austin-Healey problem. Usually the rocker shaft is worn=
=20
and oil is spread all over under the rocker cover. Rocker number 10 or 11=
=20
is directly under the ventilation and blows oil directly into it.
Problem solved by replacing the worn rocker shaft and new bushes for the=20
rockers.
Let it done by a specialist, as it needs some Healey engine knowledge to do=

it right.
