iamlegend Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 i am no expert but i would say headgasket going i noticed in your other thread you where saying somthing about your head gasket going... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 though the headgasket might be goin but i think i have sorted coolant leak so it wasnt goin into cylinders and think my thermostat is dodgy compression test showed 160 across all 4 cylinders and no gunk anywhere else ( dipstick or filler cap) or even when i take the pipe that goes to the can its just normal oil residue.

WallaceGlanza Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 That's exactly what you should expect to find in an oil catch can - oily gunk,the oil that collects in the can will gain moisture from atmosphere and end up like that. Just empty it out and if it fills up again quickly the engine may be breathing heavily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rorenapier Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 About time somebody answered with some sense. ;) When was the last time you emptied the can?Does the car still drive the same.It has nothing to do with a headgasket going, but it is possibly the engine breathing heavy.ORThe can is just needing emptied.That's exactly what you should expect to find in an oil catch can - oily gunk,the oil that collects in the can will gain moisture from atmosphere and end up like that.

Russleh Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 emptied yesterday lol ( stuff at the bottom was there before i emptied it ) what would cause it to breath heavily. is my engine unfit ??? i thought it was a bit down on power but that could be in my head or down to it overfueling. thanks for the sensible answers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rorenapier Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Its possible you have ringland damage on one of the pistons.Only real way to find out is to rip out the engine and whip the pistons out.A compression test will not always show up ringland damage.
