    If there is how bad is it then? Flush all lines out, radiator i'm guessing? What are the chances of me pulling this one off? I'm gonna have a mechanic look at it tomorrow afternoon i'll try post on my break cos they'll be able to do what you've all tried to do.. get a closer look. Thanks guys!
    If its just a HG do ya reckon I could do it myself or best leave it to someone in the knowhow?

    Thanks again to all who posted here. As always I can rely on fellow boards members for assistance! :D

    If you need a new head gasket, don't dream of doing it yourself, there is a fair bit you have to know before you go at this job, particularly around the area of engine timing, site preparation, torquing down the head, just to mention a few.

    Ok I know this thread is a little old but I have to give credit where its due. using only crappy, grainy pics. Darragh29 managed to diagnose the actual problem of my car successfully the first time round with pics! I had a mechanic get up close and personal with it today who confirmed it was not the HG as i suspected but rather just the rocker gasket. The mechanic is going to seal it all up again and change oil for me so happy days.

    As I type i'm having a drink so i'll raise this one to you and everyone who posted here :)
