head hasket failure
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hi everyone,
I have a 1.4 petrol leon and its burning quite a substantial amount of oil. using alot of coolant also, when i check the dipstick there is a brown residue on it and when i take off the filler cap is a white milky substance. doesnt particularry tick over very well and a couple of months back kept stalling when aprouching junctions etc. im leaning towards head gasket or rocker cover gasket as the top of the spark plugs are being filled with oil.
am i right to assume one or both of these gaskets have blown and ho easy of a fix is it as i do not really want to spend £1000+ in a garage.
and answers will be extreamly helpful.
thanks
scott.
