Back in the garage tomorrow (Weds)
Helga (my A8L) has been back to the garage once already, as the new gaskets fitted started leaking again. New gasket fitted to left-hand cam cover bank. Was OK for a week or so which included a trip to Crewkerne in Somerset. I had to 'give it some beans' recently when overtaking someone and within 5 minutes, I was wafting my now all too familiar oily smoke underneath the car and out of the sides... Suffice to say, she won't be going anywhere until it's fixed.
Car booked in again tomorrow to attempt second replacement gasket set for right-hand cam bank. I look forward to the day when it's not leaking like the Deepwater Horizon and also not having to check the dipstick every time I use the car.
