Put a litre of petrol in your diesel tank next time you fill up. The petters will expand the seal out a bit and more than likely fix the leak. Iv'e done it a few times and seem to work well.

Not bein smart arse mate but oil level may be low. Since rockers are generally last to get oil in the engine if the oil level is low the crank and bottom end may still be gettin sufficient oil pressure yet by the time it gets up to the rockers it may be getting a little low causing a little tap tap.

Anywhere under half is normal mate but just like the dodgy patrol oil pressure gauges, the temps are pretty crap too. I would buy an aftermarket gauge for like 40 bucks. Then you will know for sure what is really goin on.
