be a WoF fail!My old Nissan SW drops about a 50c size oil drop after sitting for about 10 mins. Told it was a Fail. When I asked whygot told that If I sit at traffic lights and drop this bit of oil, a motorcycle might come along after I have gone and slide on the tiny oil drip and go out of control and crash. While I appreciate that a small oil leak should get fixedseems a bit desperate to say its life threatening to motorcyclists.

often all it takes is a quick check that all the bolts are tight
they also had a habit of leaking around the seal on the oil pressure sender unit - check , clean, and recheck in a few days ( identify absolutely where the oil is coming from to start with)

Your car is still illegal to be driven during that 28 days, unless it is for the purpose of being driven to the testing station.
All the 28 days applies to is not have to pay again for the inspection.
Only way a Rocker Cover leaking can fail was if it was substantial enough to leak onto the exhaust and catch fire. It would have to be really bad for that to happen, since generally oil will burn off before catching fire anyway.

Tehnically is a failas like diesel or petrol spillage is a fail , sure if they failed it get it sorted anyway.

Technically you dont know what your talking about, diesel and petrol are fuel leaks. A 'slight' leak from the cam cover gasket IS NOT A reason for rejection.

its not an oil leak. Its an AURPS - Active Underbody Rust Protection System.

Small oil leaks are not a wof failure and there is no need to name call. Please post some evidence of you think its a fail.

KCC-Ill put pretty big money that the underside of your car is coated in oil and it LOOKS like its got a big leak. Given your description I would give the engine a really good wash with degreaser and a water blaster. Take the car for a 10 minute drive to dry off then take it back for recheck--bet you pass
