Hi again, 

I started my engine after a few weeks yesterday and I saw smoke. I can see that on the left rocker, the gasket must have deteriorated as it was dripping onto the exhaust. 

My guess is that I can not drive it like this as it is a fire hazard. However, I was hoping to drive van home which is about 40 miles. Is this a bad idea? 

Should I leave it and get the issue sorted before driving the van? 

Thanks in advance, Will
