no its doesnt seem to, just loads of oil over the tappet cover and engine. when i took the cover off there were no washers to stop the oil coming out the bolt holes so i think thats where it was coming from. where does yours leak from?

Ooo, cool, how many miles does your have? (Or km?) (mine has 92000, but it could be 192000 although i doubt it...)
Mine is leaking from the rear bearing, the bellhousing is always soaked...  :???:
so i have to pour some oil in every 2 months or so...

Ah, yes those rust holes are a familiar sight on a Fiat 126 :) If the clamp won't disintegrate as you clean it, then i reckon a bit of paint will get it through the mot...
