I have a Citreon Echo, 1.1, L reg, 85,000 miles. I recently found some oil in the water. My garage said this is the head gasket blown. The car is still running fine, no sign of white stuff in the oil, no smoke, no noises. Not had to top up the oil for months.... Is this definately the head gasket as it seems odd there are no other signs. If it is how long will a head gasket last? I drive roughly about 80miles per week. I would appreciate anyones comments as the mot is due to expire (needing about £150 worth of works) and I'm not sure whether to go ahead with the MOT works and run the car til it stops, but obviously if the car isn't gonna last more than a few months then its not worth chucking the money on it for the MOT.
Thanks.
