you can get a replacement

True, the rocker cover has a double skin with oil galleries running through them they also could be blocked.
 
ok lads thanks for that will change it see if it sorts it before it gets picked up

its the 1.2 twinport engine does it suffer the same fault?

Yes mate. I had an Astra in (twinport) it ran like a bag of spanners. I released the oil cap and the damn thing blew up nearly due to back pressure. Changed the rocker/breather and cleaned the pipes new oil and filter and the job was done.Good luck.👍

Aww! now that is a shame. ask the scrapyard if they have an engine for it and how much to fit it?. See if it's worth your while doing it up and then selling it on.👍
