Owner of business denied any work was done on car when i brought it back second time. Had enough of the lies and will never see a cent from me.
Have you had a look yourself?

Sometimes dodgy guys just run a bead of silicon on the outside to stop the leak (quick and easy and dodgy!) Is there any type of sealant around the valve cover?

Chances are you're going to have to fork out to get it done properly!
