The head gasket would be my first guess as well. Good job it's under warranty though since a HG is not a cheap job on these engines. |

Right need some help.
Had to top quite a bit recently with oil but nothing outlandish until last week oil light came on. Needed a good litre last weekend. Checked again today was slightly below min mark so has 'lost/used' a litre in a week  . Not normal in 400>450 miles to my mind. Under filler cap also a little mayonaisse type stuff but not a lot (maybe just water vapour from needing a litre?). No sign of oil leak and not losing any coolant or performance. Could this be head gasket? WTF is the oil going?  Still under Should i refrain from using till its looked at? Cheers for any advice  Edited by Big Stuff |
