sounds good to me if its consistant in every cylinder, i would go with valve seals on a 16v engine, quite a common problem if theyve been ragged from cold as the seals arnt as durable till they get warm, usually kicks in on these engine around 70000

i had the gasket changed bout 2 months ago and the guy who done it said the person who owned the car before me had the sump off before and cross threaded some of the screws putting them back on so he tapped some of them but this time i think hes gonna have to tap them all.
