looks like your rocker cover gasket matey, mines leaking abit too, they cost a few quid from vauxhall and you can fit it in not long at all

undo them 8 bolts, disconnect hose, remove old gasket, clean up, add new gasket, replace rocker cover.

You can get them brand new for a couple of quid - got mine for 2.68+VAT, just do as topshot said, take off the bolts, remove the old one, and clean up the rocker cover and base and slap the new one on as obvious!

Also be careful when you remove the old as, cause I know someone that dropped some of his in to the engine and it blocked the oil pump :s (but it was a cork one)
