As some others have said it sounds like Head Gasket. If you cleaned the pipes and 2 weeks later they are 70% blocked. I very much doubt just condensation can do that. | |

a vaux mech had a look at it about 2 weeks and i asked him about the head gasket and he said that its ok. the water is ok, no mayo in oil. | |

It might well be a blown head gasket. You may only have one symptom of it, but thats all you need, next thing you know you will have a cracked or warped head! Get it looked at mate. I got white gunk all over the place at the moment, it could be condensation or it could be head gasket. | |

if its used on short runs it will only be water from condesation (cold weather) in rocker cover etc mixing with oil then gettin blown down breathers not much ya can do just take it on a long run to get car really warm every so often-once a week to try and clear it | |

i have looked into some of the rubber pipes that lead into the rocket cover and they were 70% blocked with (wats looks like) mayo. my head gasket is 'a ok' so its not on its way out at all, had it changed over a year ago. |
