loosing way too much oil and coolant.

i hope its not the headgasket as that got replaced when i blew the threads in the head.

im loosing about 2 bars on the trip each moth of oil too, local garage said its leaking arround the cam seal?

white gunk in coolant bottle aswell, this has only just started though. maybes because i topped it up with different coolant/anti freeze?

any help would be great :)

I've heard mixing coolant types can create a gunk. Can you see any oil, drops under the ground, dirty bay or manifold?

I think its white in the oil cap or dip stick and a nasty(er than normal) smell in the coolant tank your looking for

yeah drive is coverd in oil due to the cam seal leak. might be due to the new coolant as it was fine when i put the new stuff in.

will flush it at the weekend and see if it continues.

is there any mayo in the oil cap?
is it holding temp?

so oil is coming out,
and water is disappearing?
