Yesterday, at the end of a sunny afternoon jaunt, I pulled up at a stoplight and noticed some wisps of oil smoke coming from under my hood. My pressure was OK, and I was only two blocks from home, so I brought my '75 JH back to the garage and looked under the hood for the problem. It seems that I have some oil oozing out from the cam covers at the rear of the engine. I think it's the intake side, but I couldn't be sure. The PO told me that this happens from time to time with the Lotus engine, and I just want to get input from the community to reassure myself. Do I need to take off the cam covers and install new gaskets? Is this a problem that will fix itself and recur intermittantly, one that I can never really get rid of? What are the best gaskets to use for the cam covers, anyway?
