New toy is leaking a fair bit of oil down the offside flank of the engine, looks to be from the rocker cover gasket. I am pretty hopeless when it comes to mechanical repairs but have a reasonable toolkit (I like fitting winches etc ), is it a DIY job or one for someone more experienced??

20 minutes mate, we'll do it.
Before you do that, check the injector spill-off/leak-off pipes ... they're prone to hardening and cracking close to the injector, making it look like the rocker gasket is u/s.

could be the o-ring on the oil doofrit on the side of the head. If so, another easy fix.
