i recently got a pug206 1.4 glx 1999 it has 77.000 on the clock. upon noticeing an oil leak a week later i thought Oh crap now what!! its coming from left hand side near the bottom its not a major one but enough to make u worry. there's no sign of oil contamination by water But the water has gone down since filling saturday. no over heating and no steam or hissing when i undo water cap. Has anybody else had this problem or know what could b the problem?

Be careful doing up the rocker cover bolts, if you do them up to tight you will bend the rocker cover causing your nice new seal to start leaking Wink

upon taking the cover off and looking at the oil there is still no sign of mayo/water im guessing i should keep and eye on it and maybe give it oil and filter change before spending loads of money on new head gaskit

Some people overfill the water, when you drive it gets hot, expands and overflows. Then it cools and the level is below where it was so they top it up again. You aren't filling it above the max marker on the expansion tank are you?

If its between the block and cylinder head it is the headgasket

Replace the cambelt too if it hasnt been done

Its an extremly common failure the oil seal, so dont worry just get it done

Is the water bottle difficult to see through because it is a brown colour. That is a good sign of head gasket failing or has previously failed and wasn't cleaned (very few people bother) when the gasket was fixed.
