    White Gunk

    Anyone know what this suggest? I have white gunk on my oil cap The only thing that comes to mind is a dodgy thermostat cause the car never reaches temperature anymore only gets to a 1/4 on the guage when it use to be 1/2. Could this be causing the oil not to reach temperature causing the gunk?

  11. Header tank gunk

    Looked in the header tank today and noticed what can only be described as a nice scum line around the water line, the tank is also stained brown. Oil cap is fine so im putting it down to all the nasty chemical crap in the antifreeze, is this scum anything to be worried about? :confused...
