Hi, I have a 1.4 SRi Corsa B, and i just dont know what is wrong with it. At first i thought it might be the head gasket on the way out, but its not leaking from there. Its under the head, and you can see where someone has tried to seal it before, there is a small amount of oil leaking out every now and then. Although i think it may need a new head g as well because somehow a small amount of water gets into the oil (iv seen milkyness twice over the past month). It also seems a bit down on power, and after iv taken it for a long drive (Or i drive fast) it ticks really loudly and sounds really low and rumbly (like a subaru).
Any ideas on what it is? im not great with cars as you can probably tell from my post

dave i told you its the headgasket, just get the kit with the bolts and ile fit it for you, you still have the cambelt and water pump yeh?
its done high mileage so its gotta be done anyway. also headgaskets normally leak from the inside rather than onto the block, take the plugs out and look for oil deposits (black instead of the browny orange)
