BTW, if there is a white gunk on oil filler cap, then it is most definately head gasket with the other symptoms | |

Sure you haven't got a water leak, when you say lossing water, do you mean a litre per 100miles? a little?? if the car is still running ok, top it up. | |

Think my head gaskets gone.... losing water, sloshing sound coming from behind the dashboard when you first start it up. I believe its a common problem on 1.4 16V Corsa's. If I get an uprated head gasket, will it decrease the possibility of it happening again? |
