Hi all,
The car is a 1997 Rover 214Si, 1396cc Kseries 16v.
Lately I have noticed a thin film of oily slime on the inside of the coolant reservoir.
The car is using no coolant or oil, there is no mayonnaise on the filler cap.
The car runs very well and does not overheat. The engine receives regular oil changes and is kept well serviced.
I am worried that it could be the onset of a HG failure, there is a very slight oil weep at the cambelt end, this doesnt seem to be camhaft seals as all was dry there when the belt was changed.
Any pointers..? Am I worrying for nothing??
Thanks in advance,
Rich.
