My car is majorly overheating it will go for 0 - 110 in about 15 minutes...
Which is really bad...
I have noticed there is oil dripping out the bottom and under teh oil cap is a very very very thin layer of mayonaisey stuff.
Could these all be linked?
Does it need a new Head gasket..
How hard is it to replace the head gasket?

uhoooh thats a definite head gasket..
it can be done relatively easily if you are quite mechanically minded/have experience with working on cars
if not its a £400 garage job

yeah head needs fixing, BUT i found if you drain the system replace the fan switch and thermostat and give her a good flushing out, it will sort the over heating out, BUT THIS IS SHORT TERM FIX
