right all you tech minded ppl. strange one for yas. this time with my gfs car. shes got a corsa c 1.2 16v sxi (56 plate),35k on the clock. shes been complaining about the car stutering when its cold so i automatically thot the maf sensor. but me being me took off the breather pipes from the cam cover to the throttle body to check them and they are full of toffee like sludge and so is the oil cap. so now im thinking, head gasket. so i then cleaned all the sludge from the pipes and while doing so found that the sludge stinks of pure petol. so i smelled the oil cap aswell and that smells of petrol aswell. so theres petrol getting into the oil? how the hell is this lol. any help wud be much appreiciated as shes away to put it into vauxhall on friday.  fortune! lol.

yeah id say she drives it in a normal manner plus she does a 40 mile round trip to work everyday. but now im reading that it might be overfuelling. checked the plugs and theyre just a white/brown crusty colour.
