Hi Guys,
This morning I drope my car in the morning and when I was pressing the gas the engine started humbling. When I came back to my home we found that the oil was spreading on the engine sides and as well when i took off the spark plugs I found that there was traces of oil with the sparking plugs.

Can someone give me a hint of the problem ...

Umm....i think it's a new engine gasket u were reffering to:)
I used to have the same problem on the renault scenic(first generation)....after i changed it...no more leaks:)
 
You need a new rocker gasket most probably. We're only talking a few quid here and Halfords should be able to sort you out for half the price of the Fiat dealer. They only last for a certain period of time so keep an eye on it often and change. Fitting is easy. You can use some magic gunk to get rid of the surplus engine oil, also ask at Halfords, but don't let it drip on tarmac whatever you do, heh! Apart from that, it might also be good to coincide all this with an oil and filter change, esp. if it's the 1.1 which works hardm albeit willingly. FIRE-engined Puntos work really well with this sort of basic maintenance maintained.
