I know V6 head gasket problems are meant to be rare but I have a sneaking feeling mine has gone. I've always lost a bit of coolant but lately its got worse. Runs fine. No airlock, No overheating, No drips. No mayo & oil looks fine.

So must be just ingesting it into the combustion chambers
Question 1 - is that a common scenario?

Or

Question 2 - if the HGF is in the rear bank is there any chance that no mayo would be visible in the front?

Anyone had something like this?
