Possible Oil Cooler?
« on: 29 September 2007, 17:01:58 »

Symptoms....

Steam coming from rear of engine when engine hot
Rubbery smell sometimes
Header tank is really really stained orangey colour
Ticks over roughly
Seems to use water
When i changed the rocker gaskets i noticed mayo in the oil filler neck

If not then what do you think it could be?

Probably worth giving the breathers a clean through & if you haven't done already, a quick oil change  :y
