Hi all, jus washed and polished my car then doing a few fluid top ups I came to the oil to find some browny/goldy looking suldge. I'm assuming this is the early signs of the head gasket going?? How much are they to buy and change??

Thanks.

Im my mechanic charged £80 for 'looking at' & not actually doing anything he'd no longer be my mechanic

Gie it a flush/new coolant, see if it persists. If theres no water contamination in the oil it might be nothing!!
