geo7087 11 Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 this is a bit of a strange one but i really feel my Headgasket is now fooked...Symptoms are as followsVery small amount of Mayo on underside of oil capWater in expansion tank frothy and bubbling when revvedWater in expansion tank pressurised, goes to blow every time you take the cap offNow the reason why its strange is because of 2 thingsFirstly i have a minor oil leak, possibly from the sump, had to drive through deep water with the cornwall floods the other day to get to work, have only noticed the mayo since then, could water have forced itself into the sump?Secondly a fair while ago i blew a coolant hose, we simply chucked it back on and re filled with coolant, could this have caused air in the system causing it to presuurise?Any help would be much appreciated, i plan on having a compression test to try and be sure, its just worrying the hell out of me tbh as the car needs to be ready and spot on for Ultimate Dubs early next year and i've only just convinced myself i really wanna keep it Link to post Share on other sites
