To many short runs if engine running ok, or your not being told the the truth

The description on fleabay pointed towards cam cover gaskets leaking. (oil dripping onto the miniford) Head gaskets very rarely go on the V6 engines. Check your expansion tank (water) for any mayo. this could be the oil cooler. Usual signs of neglect on these engines
You just beat me (max bid was £650)
