noticed other day that after a drive there would be a small amount of water comeing from the cap of the header tank,

then last night seen smoke and there was oil everywhere, the oil filler cap had blown off, (checked engine bay the otherday and everything seemed fine, filler cap seemed fine to.

how can i check etc.

if theres to much pressure in the bottom end you can take dipstick out while running and check that way right? well can you do that with out the filler cap tho?

any help apprieciated

oil cap blew off?! surely your engine would have given up before that. Sure you put it on correctly.
Ive got water pushing past my header tank cap, starting to think ive got a block in the rad tbh.
