I know nothing about cars but I’m getting conflicting opinions on a problem I have with my Omega 2.5 V6 Estate 1999 (Purchased just over a year ago).
The car needs some work doing to replace gaskets (rocker cover??) because oil is leaking into the spark plug sockets. The garage that services my car is happy to do the job but they are worried about the build up of ‘mayo’ in the oil filler tube/cap. (In fairness to the garage they don’t want to see me throwing good money after bad )
Although there is no sign of this ‘mayo’ on the dip stick or in the coolant/water chamber, the garage feel it might be a head gasket problem (in the early stages) because this mayo, having been cleaned out of the oil filler tube returns very quickly – after only a few miles driving.
Ideally I’d like to find an expert/enthusiast, preferably local (Newbury, Berkshire) who can give me some independent advice based on experience of Omega’s. More than happy to pay someone to do this. If, at the end of the day, it is the head gasket then the car will have to be scrapped because I don’t have the money for such an expensive repair.
I hope this ‘diatribe’ makes sense and that some one can assist me.
Many thanks
