I will get more picture tomorrow but from the other side it’s leaking out of the joiner of the exhaust pipe we have tried to tighten it more but makes no difference

Did they recon the head ? Could be a bad exhaust valve but as said give it some work and nip the rocker cover bolts up first as they normally need doing due to the thick gasket settling in .

Suspect rocker cover gasket as others have said. The only way I could ever get the darn things to seal properly was to soak the gasket in clean engine oil before fitting and the tighten the rocker cover from the middle outwards. Once they start weeping they're buggers to stop.

More hard work, do not let it idle or run for any amount of time off load (unless cold)
