I have had a good sniff of the oil and it does not seem to smell of diesel fuel

I will now drain the oil and see if there is any water in the oil.


Well, I have drained the oil from the engine and there is WATER in it. So what is causing this, There is NO build-up of pressure in the system. When you remove the rad cap there is just a slight hiss when it is warm so doubtful it is the HG. But what do I know

Car runs fine, starts straightaway, fuel economy is the same, no oil in the water in the Rad area.


ALL suggestions gratefully recieved
