Hi,

I know what im about to put is nothing to do with corsa but i though you guys could tell me whats wrong.

i have a merc sprinter 208d van and have just bought it. i got it home and on the way back had to keep topping the radiator up as the light came on, anyway when i had a look there is oil in the radiotor filler tank. i though head gasket but there is no gunk on the oil filler lid and there is no smoke coming out the back.

it runs well with no increase in temperature.

so i am at a bit of a lost to what wrong with it, so i was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

any help would be great

Thanks in advance

head gasket blown between an oil feed to the head and a water jacket. Oil at a higher pressure would enter the water system but not allow water into the oil!!
