thanks for the input so far . forgot to say that its a 2000 y plate and its only got 59800 miles under its belt full police history to feb this year! and when when the header tank pressure rises a few water hoses get hard ! and just a though if the gasket was gone and makeing the water pressure rise would the water in the headder tank not stay full (to the cap) because the engine would keep the pressure there instead of falling when the fans kick in and drop ! as you would think that the pressure would be constant .

ok the car starts no probs seems too run ok it takes about 15-20 mins to get to the point where the fans kick in at about the 90% mark. the water in the header tank is at the top of the tank at this point but the water dosnt rise till about the 80-85% mark and once the fans kick in the level drops back to normal and no pressur. there is a little bit of white stuff on the oil cap and a water hose that connects too the matrix has blown off ! all the time the car runs there are no leaks from anywhere under the engine and there dosent seem to be any water loss or if there is i cant notice it . i was going to try that new product called steel seal. what do you think.?
