Sorry to dig up my old thread, but it’s high time I sorted this issue. Since I’ve only been using the old girl to nip to the co-op and back I’ve left this far too long.
I’ve tried replacing the coolant cap, but it’s still losing the coolant over the course of around 10 days - 2 weeks. Car never gets to the point it overheats, so it was just the original incident I mentioned all those months ago.
I have noticed a little bit of mayo on the oil cap today, does this always mean HGF? Or would a perished inlet manifold gasket allow water to get into the oil? I have had it suggested that this could just be condensation from the minimal use the car gets?
If not, my next step is to change the inlet manifold gasket as suggested. Is this as simple a job as it looks? Just disconnecting, cleaning things up nicely and then fitting it all back together?
As ever any help and tips are greatly appreciated.
