My head gasket has been leaking for some time and I'd planned to have a go at it at the end of the month (honestly!), however it seems that the headgasket has had other ideas and has gone properly!   

I've got a steady drip of mayo from the back of the engine and there's mayo on the dipstick.    I thought something was up this morning when the LPG took ages to switch and then the 'Coolant Low' message popped up!    It's still running fine though and not overheating, but I guess that's only a matter of time now.... 

The bastid of it is that I'm in South Wales and was planning on driving back to Dorset tonight.  Looks like I'm tow trucking it back tomorrow now!

Fill up a couple of bottles of water and drive it home.  If it's breaked, it's breaked.

Keep a keen eye on the Temp gauge.  If it's not losing too much coolant, a steady plod on the M5, you'll be fine.

I have been wondering about doing that to be honest.    It's the fact that the coolant is going into the oil that bothers me, but I guess like you say if I don't let it over heat....

I'll probably have a go Mr Emd, after all I can't make it much worse..... Can I?
