You're getting a bit off topic there John, better say something about an oil leak and WOF. Do you think you should be failed a WOF for it!

How can you be frank when your name is david! This name calling is getting out of hand!

Seriously (for a moment) . if the underside (as Kaz suggested) is covered in oil, then it should technically be a fail with the note to read along the lines of "clean & check for leaks & repair if necessary , then represent for a wof recheck "
It's 1 of those "can't be sure of how much oil or how long it's been leaking" situations.
It's not a hard job to give the engine a reasonable clean before a wof. Can of degreaser spray & a power nozzle/ waterblaster (karcher etc) or even a local "washworld" washbay

VTNZ failedmy 1950 morris minor for an oil leak. I did a big song and dance, and they passed it

The fail would have to be based on real or potential for oil to get on the brakes or catch fire on the exhaust or interfere with the general operation of the vehicle, (brakes/ tyres/ steering or fire including large volumes of smoke)

it either had an oil leak or it diddn't -a song and dance should have made no difference

How is a 50c sized oil spill in 10min a SLIGHT leak! My definition of that would be 'running out'.
joanie32,
Mar 8, 8:21pm
They said it was due to the fact oil would be left on the road.

a 50c piece sized drop of oil after a few mins sitting is almost certainly not a cam cover leak. if it is the side of the engine must represent a slow moving waterfall of oil and now dirt stuck to the side. I would say it would be sump plug, rear main seal or crank shaft seal to be leaking that amount. A rocker cover gasket is only $10-50 purchase so I reckon replace it anyway if it is leaking.
