#1: HEAD on a 55 reg... Author: abs06, Location: East SussexPosted: Fri May 13, 2011 3:51 pm ---- I had my oil changed today at the garage done by a friend, who now owns his own business.
Basicly, i been noticing a few oil drops on drive for a few months, though nothing of it at first, but then looked under car and saw drips of oil, asked a colluege at work, and said could be a gasket.
while it was having the oil filter and new oil done, we invetigated it, and found that it was the head that was leaking oil.
my car is a 2005 '55' and done 82k.
is this normal for the car of its age, with the milage...
also had the car on the diagnostic for free, and came back with no faults
thanks in advance

#8: Re: HEAD on a 55 reg... Author: abs06, Location: East SussexPosted: Mon May 16, 2011 5:16 am ---- From the bottom. Top is dry
Yh my mechanic said would be head
The car is a 2005 '55 on 82k. Seems odd a 5/6 year old car head would go.

wouldn't be suprise if the head is gone; and surely this is not the first time i have seen in here this year.
