I'm still putting my money on the headgasket. This is where they all tend to leak from.

It is common when the head gasket is wearing to start leaking from that same corner, but its still only a weap. With 2 new head gaskets now being fitted i cant see how it could possibly be a pour. Oil level has gone from the max line on the dip stick to the min line after between 5-10 minutes of running tops.

Nothing to update on today unfortunately, no call. Ill visit them again tomorrow if ive not heard anything.

Cheers for the offer, very much appreciated. I wouldt fancy towing the car for any great distance though. It struggles to get on most trailers
