Powder coated rocker cover on exchange is £40 through myself. £55 with cam belt cover or £70 with the cam belt and plug cover.

Same symptoms of head gasket failure.

Oil/water contamination.

You would have to remove the head to check, which you would have to do if its a head gasket anyway. Then get the head pressure tested.
