rocker cover mystery - HELP!

Forum: 

i just went to sort out an oil leak which i thoought was the rocker cover gasket, but upon closer inspection all four corners of the cover are cracked - any ideas why?

any ideas where to get another one from?

Is it a Sportrak? If so,

Is it a Sportrak? If so, like ours, some previous absolute numpty of an owner has ovetightened them, causing stress fractures in the alloy casting.

Got one from a breakers, about a tenner IIRC. Although you can still get them new from Daihatsu.
