Omega General Help / Head gasket?
« on: 08 August 2011, 22:28:37 »
Hi
I'm new here and after a lengthy decision making process am going to be buying a V6 Omega in the near future
Have a question Re 2.6 Headgaskets.
Was looking at 1 yesterday, took a friend along who is a mechanic to trade, we looked at the oil filler when the engine was cold and is was fine, warmed the car a little before a test drive and there was a slight sludgy, mayonnaisy look too it, but took it for a decent test drive anyway (thinking it may be because it hadn't been run for a bit) car drove perfectly, when we came back checked oil filler again and it was worse, we reckoned Headgasket was on way out and walked away.
Is there anything else this could be?
There was no oil in the water and the temp gauge sat between 80 and 90
