: then the next thing to do is to get a head gasket test done. of course a : stuck thermostat is also a possible and cheap to replace.
I assumed the thermostat was ok from the increase in flow.
There's no "emulsion" in the oil filler cap so, again, I assumed all was ok - can the headgasket go without this "side effect"?
