Old thread resurrection but looks like I’m falling foul of the same issue. Anybody fancy diagnosing something nice and cheap and not the head gasket? Big Cry

There is a core plug/big screw in thing, in the side of the head, and these often leak. They don't show it as it dries with the heat of the exhaust, but it gets blown to the back of the engine by the fan, and tracks along the head gasket, giving you worrying wallet twitches.

Will try to find picture.

That’s where I think it’s coming from…hopefully 2002 110 td5

Ok, so no more Yorkshire wallet twitching.

Joking aside, It really feels unfair when a car you have pampered for years teases you in this way. Really thought I was in for a HUGE bill.

I took it to a local indie today and they said the same. But they are booked up for the next 6 weeks. We have a holiday in Cornwall booked this weekend. Guess I will just have to carry a lot of water for the journey just in case 2002 110 td5

Thanks for the contact info. Hopefully I won’t need him and I can get it sorted when I get back. Thumbs Up 2002 110 td5
