Hi All,
Been reading the forums for a while now and unfortunately my first post is regarding a problem.
As the title says I have oil in the cooling system. On Thursday I checked the fluids prior to a weekend away, the expansion tank was a little dirty but nothing too bad. I drove for an hour to my destination, did a little driving while there and drove back yesterday to find the tank full of oil.
The car runs well, gets up to temp and holds half way up the guage as normal. I have noticed the heater does not clear the screen as well as it should but that would be the oil in the coolent I guess. My first thought was the head gasket, but I have spoken to some peaple in the trade who tell me that they are usually bullet proof. The car has only done 42500 miles and has been well serviced by ford since it was new, I've had it for 4 or 5 months and have only done 3000 miles.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks!
