Hi guys having read some other threds my worst fears might not be correct. Having checked the omega over i noticed a lot of mayo in the oil and jumped straight to the head gasket. But having read through the forum i now see their are a lot of other reasons.
The symptoms are just mayo in the oil.
Still pulls like a train.
Starts first time everytime
Fuel consumption not effected.
Ticks over and runs fine.
Read about the heater by pass valve and other such things and i'm going to check it out now but anymore info would be great.
Thanks for your help in the past

What engine? Update your details in your profile. Will help :y

likely to be damp weather and short journeys. do an oil change and go for a run - sure it will clear
-
When you say mayo in the oil, where are you looking? Fillers cap, dip stick?

Sorry it's a 1995 3.0 V6 elite and the mayo is in the filler. Dipstick is clear and oil on the dipstick looks fine. Just got back with oil and filter so will do that in a moment. Usual run is about 20 miles max so a good run would do it a world of good i would imagine.

Short journeys are the problem. Oil change every 4-5K :y
