Last week i was driving home after a 200 mile journey and as you do, pulled into a service area for a comfort stop, I noticed a small oil trail behind me, looked under the van and found a puddle of oil and the rest under the bonnet.
called out the men in yellow (AA) and they relayed me home.
After talking to a couple of mechanics and because she was driving fine, no over heating or loss of power, it was thought to be the oil cooler at fault, so I set to work.
I have changed the oil cooler and cleaned the engine bay (sort of)
I have started flushing the water system and got loads of oil and crud out and after flushing it about a dozen times the water was dirty but definitely water...
started the engine and let it warm up a bit and found oil back in the expansion tank ( i was expecting some to come through) but each time i ran the engine more oil came into the expansion tank until it was just oil, no water, i checked the oil level and it was very low ( I had filled it)
Now I'm thinking head Gasket???????
She's a mk6 jumbo 2.4l duratorq
Any help appreciated
