ive got a 1.2l 16v cosa b. its got a oil and water mix. im pretty sure that they dont really suffer with head gasket problems, i would have thought that its the timing case gasket thats leaking. Is there any way of checking it?

Also, theres a big puddle in the front footwells of my car and its coming from where the centre of the dash. im guessing the heater matrix is leaking?

any help or ideas would be much appreciated

ok thank, i guess that the best thing i can do is use the emissions tester at work and make sure theres no hydrocarbons in the coolant.
