I had this in my 1.2 8v it is down to air getting in to the engine some where on mine it was down to a craked sump so check for oil leaks under the car. | |

FFS how can any of you determine thats head gasket failure :rolleyes: could well be condensation forming in the sump and mixing with the oil. Unless the engine is running rough, heaps of white smoke when engine is warm from exhaust, or the coolant is contaminated, you cannot tell if its head gasket just be creamy gunk!! | |

My oil seems to have built up a really thick texture mainly around the filler cap its quite a smooth texture but it comes of in really sticky light brown/white lumps. ive heard before this could be a sign of a headgasket problem but im not exactly clued up on engines. can anyone help? the car seems to run ok it does about 80 miles to a tenner and makes tapping noises until its warm but other than that it runs well, is the oil thing a problem or is that just normal old age? |
