Nope, looks absolutely fine.
That one stud nearest to it though wasa bit naff. I knew when i fitted if i'm honest, but without a spare stud took a chance.
Anyway, lesson nearnt. That said, if same stud had been further in, it may have never been noticed!

I don't really see how that could cause an oil leak - water creeping up the stud thread - perhaps, but no way for oil to escape..

On the mini forum there seemed a few threads about leaking oil from the rocker supply in the block? This is where mine was leaking.
Granted, i used a "good" gasket, so i wouldn't have thought it would have happened.
