Now i need help lol I do not know alot about engines atall. Got a serious oil leak coming from the 1.4 engine I got fitted and was assured the engine was perfect, no problems.
Its been cammed 'supposedly' so it runs lumpy and sometimes stalls, didnt think the cams would or should make the car stall?
Then I realised I was leaking oil and it started getting worse till it was almost a puddle  .. took it to the garage but even after cleaning the engine it was still hard for them to tell where the oil is coming from, possibly the exhaust manifold and the sump ..
My last engine was fucked after realising it needed new piston rings and a rebuild, its now looking like this is the way this engine is going .. is it worth rebuilding this engine, buying a new engine or just giving up? 
advice is much appreciated and is needed. Alot!

why would oil be coming from the exhaust manifold?? lol.
This new engine, with the oil leak, i'd find the leak, fix it, then read error codes and general fault find to figure out why its lumpy. Any cams running on standard pistons wont make it lumpy enough to stall, no.
