Hey Guys, just went to view a corsa b. 1 Litre 12v with mayo in the oil cap after a run.
The car is a t reg car, owned by a old women. All she has ever done is gone to shops n back and has said the oil cap has always been like that. ( she has had the car 7 years)
So, is it the head gasket or is it just all the crap built up from short journeys.

It's the same on my car. Particularly in winter/damp seasons. Check my garage, there is a picture of my oil cap which isn't with the headgasket blown.

Deano might be a high roller in his GLS model but I put mine in and it's a fairly easy job The wiring was already there for mine though and apparently it isn't always.
