Whether it's fuel or oil there's going to be a poisoned catalyst soon if it's not ruined already. A Y plate Corsa C will be around the 3yr old mark and its first MOT. Did it have the 3yr warranty ? Let's hope so as a new cat plus the work to rectify the underlying cause of the problem likely means a big bill.
