Head gasket blown? That's very unusual. Post the first 6 numbers of your chassis number and I will loom them up?

It is letting oil into the water expansion tank it is not over heating. The numbers are 210061 thanks a lot. IS IT STRETCH BOLTS ON THIS CAR IT HAS NOT BEEN ROASTED WILL IT NEED SKIMMING

Not necessarily. You need to check before stripping the engine down, either perform a block test or have a local garage sniff the coolant vapours with a 4-gas analyser.
