Ok, its not for me, its for a friend.......
If the head is cracked or gasket gone, he should have some tell-tale signs, one of which is bubbling in the reservoir - but how much bubbling exactly? Like blowing down a straw, or just an occasional bubble once every few minutes?
Theres no overheating on the gauge, no emulsified oil, but the reservoir needs topping up when the engine is cold - the water must be going somewhere, so I suggested a gasket problem - now every time he comes round we have to stare at his water reservoir whilst his car idles, there's not a lot to see, just an occasional bubble which I think may be the stat opening and closing.
So what should we see?
