For about 3 years, the Omega (3.0 V6) has slowly been using water - however I've never been able to trace where its gone! We are talking maybe a litre or so every 2000 miles or so. (however it was random, sometimes it wouldn't use any for a couple of months)
Now it has all of a sudden just started drinking the stuff!
Couple of weeks ago I went from York to Leicester, and it used about a litre of water (this was a 120 mile trip - sat at 70ish mph all the way) and then around half a litre on the way back home (sat around 80 mph ish).
Again, there was no trace of where the water was going... (checked for leaks, checked oil etc.. all fine)
However, today I have just topped the coolant up (again!), and the dreaded dip stick is just starting to show signs of water in the oil (the oil colour is ever so slightly pale in colour).
What would cause this? There is NO oil in the water, however there IS water in the oil.
Does this rule out the Oil Cooler, since theres no oil in the water?
I hope its not the head gasket...
Any ideas guys?
Cheers
