Hey,
[I know your problem is resolved, but just for the case of future-readers of this pots, here is the update]

The source of problem was a busted section in head gasket.
(look at the top, right whole in this image, the one with black surroundings http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/v0/285001" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... ngines.jpg )

The rest of the head gasket was fine, so it wouldn't have causes serious problem if I kept it as it was. But anyway I was about to change timing belt, so I changed head gasket, and all the valves just to be sure and prevent future problems.

After opening the engine head, I also notices one of the valves did not close perfectly, so I also have them cleaned and had the engine head polished!
It turned out to be somewhat expensive repair, but at the end the engine was shining new!

Probably better solution will be to make new screw or order original one but i don't know part number.

You can get the part number from: http://service.citroen.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
For these screws:


It seems the part numbers are:
Self locking self tap screws: 6923 H3
Screw with base: 0806 54

It has oil leak in the left side of engine, from near the head gasket.

There is only one left side and one right side of a car but just to make sure is this "left side" when you are looking at the engine in front of the car or the actual left side
2004 and only 113000 km that kind of oil leak sounds unusual to me.

Some pics may be? Since it helps a lot to see the problem. There are many people here who can help.

Yes there is only 1 left side and 1 right side of a car and it's ALWAYS when you are sitting in the car and the car is facing in the direction of travel. So the issue this person is having is on the right side. You don't ever judge what side it is by facing the car from outside looking at the engine. First time I've ever heard this in my life.
