Just one thing on the rover T series engine HEAD GASKET....... Mine is a post march 96 car, so came fitted with the metal Klinger head gasket :D I think it's the original at 139k, (touches wood) They tend to weep oil if anything, but the k series are the ones prone to blowing head gaskets. :oops:

When the throttle is shut and mainly on over run, it creates vaccum, which will drag the oil through the valve stem seals to be burnt, hence why diesel's won't have this issue.Just a guess but does sound plausible..
