right a took my 1.4 sport a run out of town 2 nights after i bought it and i let the car running while a was sitting in it and the temp slowly increased to 100 degrees and when it hits a hundred the fan comes but this time it never i noticed smoke coming out of the bonnet so i turned the car of and as i was getting out there was shit loads of coolant pissing down the road the bottle ended up empty i took my plastic cover of the rocker and oil had been leaking from somewhere but my oil is still full plus i filled the water up went home and this was fine untill abwt 4 days l8r when it overheated again i tookit to the garage and they said i warped the head but dont u think if i done that it would be coming out all the time but it only happens when the car goes near 100.any1 any ideas what this could be?++ there is no mayo under the oil cap!!!

it sounds like the car is over heating alot (obviously) when this happens its starts to make the water boil and expand which results in purst pipes ect, this will also be a case for the oil if there are any weak gaskets/spots on the engine it will cause a leak, i would get your fan sorted, its gona be a case of
new fan switch
fuse
new fan
dodgy wire
or even a blocked thermostat

Find where the water is comin from and fix it, sounds like a pretty normal leak to me thats only opening up when the cars getting a bit warm (nothing wrong with it getting to 100 degrees by the way)
Is the oil leak coming from the front of the rocker cover? just above the exhaust?
