Having problems with the c70, mot is tomorrow (Saturday)
Firstly i found that a breather hose was not connected into the inlet manifold:

After this was reconnected i got some seriously bad smoke, upon a rev of the engine a thick blue cloud three times the size of the car would come out which you would have no chance of seeing through. Traced the other end of the hose to the rocker cover to find a bolt was leaking in the second from the left cylinder (back left bolt in pic, this bolt is removed as well as another as i was working on it) There was lots of oil leaking up through this, and it turns out not only was this not matching the rest, but the treads are gone, so the engine will need to be repaired/drilled/trapped at some stage, but no time at the minute

What should i find below the cover, is there some sort of filter that could possibly be blocked and needing cleaned out (Car is a 1998 with 132,000 miles)
Also if anyone has a pic with the rocker cover off this would be a huge help.
Lastly, with it being the c70 t5 gt it is suppose to be 240bhp, but it seems to be 170 at best at the minute, but i got the two following fault codes, which reoccur immediately after resetting:

Would the MAP sensor cause the car to be down on power? Thanks.
