AS john said 2ltrs would be a very major leak, the leak in your picture is negligible. | |

SORY BUT YOUR PISSING UP THE WRONG TREE THERE WITH THAT MINOR LEAK.TO USE 2LTRS IN A WEEK ITS A BIT MORE INVOLVED,WON'T BE STEM SEALS, AND WITHOUT A MAJOR LEAK YOU PROBABLY LOOKIN AT RINGS AND ALWAYS THE POSSABILITY OF FURTHER DAMAGE CAUSED BY LOW OIL PRESSURE/STARVATION | |

Should be just a case of unbolting the rocker cover and fitting a new gasket after removing old one. Clean away the oil you see now and look for fresh oil the next day/week. Then you can be sure its this. Also look for oil patches on your drive, and check the sump for any leaks. | |

Sounds like oil starvation and your hydraulic tappets being left dry. I cant see the pic, but a new rocker gasket might be in order | |
