Hi Paul,
"
Pretty much" means that there's a difference between MG Rover's recommendation and what you've been doing.

So did you take this reading by following MGR's procedure
exactly? If so, I would put some more miles on the car and check again to see if it's made any difference.

I noticed they used 5/40 oil, thinner than the recommended 10/40.

5W40 is also listed for "all engine types".

If it's the cam breathers, do I have to remove the cover and will I need new gaskets?

Yes, you have to remove the camshaft covers. Unfortunately the RH bank requires removal of the manifold chamber first. Remember to observe the torque and sequence for the screws.
The gaskets are metal. I didn't renew mine but some members have reported deterioration of a coating.
