Hi
I have been seeing quite a loss of coolant in my car (2003 estate) and did some digging around yesterday. All I can find is that the expansion tank was damp underneath, so it may be leaking through the cap when under pressure. However, I put over a litre in and it still wasn't quite up to the mark.
When there I did notice some oily deposits on the rear of the cylinders on the driver's side. Checking under the oil cap there was a tiny bit of 'mayonnaise' like reside, but it was tiny?
Obviously I have been dreading any issues with this car but knew it would only be a matter of time.
Any suggestions on what to look for etc?
Thanks
