   I think I found my problem. After refilling the oil, and taking it for a lap, i heard a sizzling sound. So i pull in back home, only to find I have oil coming out ot the top of one of my 4 exhaust pipes that come from the engine. This oil happens to be running down this pipe, and I think it is what's causing the problem. Am I up for a top end rebuild? :/

   only 3 possibilities
   
   1- leaking valve cover gasket
   
   2 - Head is cracked above exhaust pipe and oil is dripping down
   
   3 - I think there is an oil line that runs up the front of the engine, could be leaking.
   
   Try cleaning area with petrol and when dry put some talc powder on there, run engine to see where oil is coming from.
