Made a start under the car with Bilt Hamber Hydrate 80 - Rust Remover Killer Barrier System. 
Just for a barrier against any potential rust.

Slight oil leak, popped to the local VW/Audi for advice and think it's coming from the rocker cover gasket and suggest upgrading to a rubber one. 

All changed cleaned hopefully that solves it.  203EB80F-E281-45D9-9D91-F92FC268658F.jpeg D81D3DE0-06EF-46E3-9AAE-1CC284CBC8AE.jpeg E83C07CE-8E4A-4FBD-8FEC-E09AD2086FC2.jpeg A28258E2-D72C-4599-B955-A3755074FCB1.jpeg 058D15A4-AF35-4C63-A050-C9D839D52CC1.jpeg
