Woohoo, another 155 north of the border

Think there is a post similair to this one. May be the head gasket. Is there an emulsion around the inside of the oil filler neck or cap ???
If you're sure the water is dropping into the oil and not evaporating through a leak, then this may well be the problem.

water is definatly goin straight into oil sump. car was not cooked. had been parked up for a week. cold engine etc

this also sonds like a head gasket job what did you see when you took off the head.?? and dont say four pistons.

 

[willie scott]

Gasket,ok .no sign of tracking across.have checked down piston bores no vis cracks. could not fathom why water was disapearing so quickly!

 

[jimybob]

you cant always actualy see where a gasket has gone..what colour where the pistons was one of them really clean.??

 

[willie scott]

pistons were all roughly the same.black/carbon deposit
