Hi guys, i'm here again asking for some advise. I think my head gasket has gone and would appreciate some advise from others before i take the head off to discover i've overlooked something simple. I have got loads of oil in my radiator expansion tank and i think the oil on the dipstick...

It sounds like one of my manifold gaskets is leaking. It is a big job? The gaskets are cheap - less than £10 for the set. Could this be a diy job?

Leaking oil badly, don't think it has blown though. What's the cost of a new gasket, or perhaps the seal around that may have gone. Should I worry? Cheers L :o
