Advice required.
I have an old workhorse ( 1994 Seat Ibiza 1.9D) that has developed a leak through the headgasket. I have not noticed a lack of power & there is no scum in the oil to indicate that coolant is getting in there, so it appears the only place the gasket has gone is between the coolant channels & the outside. I can see the leak underneath the exhuast manifold at the back of the block.
The leak is big enough to mean that I need to refill every 250miles, this equates to twice a week.
Given that the replacement of a headgasket would cost more the car is worth - are there any short term (bodge) solutions. What effect would radweld, or similar have on this type of leak. I am only looking to get the car to next MOT when it is likely to be replaced ( 10 month away) Any suggestions?
