    Just to update, I eventually got around to removing the rocker cover to check the spark plug gasket seals.

    The gasket on the problematic spark plug did look worn so I replaced it and left the rest and rocker cover gasket as they looked good.

    Old gasket

    I started it up and drove around for awhile. Came back and removed coil and plug. No oil and everything looked good so fingers crossed that's all it was.

    Well done, cheap fix in the end.

    Cool little thing.
    I drove one there a few weeks back identical to yours without the mods. Unbelievably tiny to the point of being funny.

    When you have a couple of large people in it, it is comical!

    expect some of the other three seals or the rocker cover seal to start leaking before too long.

    the general rule here is if a cover is removed which disturbs seals, change out all the seals. even if they look OK, they are old and have now been interfered with. Can't be trusted anymore. Seals are cheap. Labour and inconvenience to go at it again are expensive.
