I've put the tray and HVAC filter back on but left the engine cover off.
Car goes to dealer on 9th June.
In terms of oil leaks, call me crazy, but I think that the oil filler cap is a source. Is this common?

Do you mean the cap on the valve cover, or the cap on the oil filter housing. The cap on the oil filter housing can be over torqued and crack and leak, or the big o-ring is not correctly installed. The cap on the oil fill hole on the valve cover shouldn't leak; there really is not enough oil pressure in the valve cover to overcome the seal.
