is your engine oil becoming like mayonaise...? If looks like it it means water gores into the oil. Get engine check asap. |

The workshop has checked the oil and they said that everything is ok, that's why they are puzzled right now |

It sounds like a head gasket issue to me....the water system is being pressurised by combustion gases?? |

I have similar but block test is negative every time and go oil to coolant contamination |

I’ve just had the same symptoms but on a different type engine....which turned out to be a slight leak on the head gasket...was loosing a tiny amount of coolant which was actually being forced out of the expansion tank breather...but would only do it when it was driving at higher revs...

If I open coolant cap when engine running and increase revs the coolant level drops right down , and then comes straight back up after releasing ? Was yours doing this ? Also I have constant pressure in coolant tank |
