My S reg Hyundai Accent (63k on the clock) has had a little mayo in the filler cap for a while now, although it may just be due to its life consisting of short runs, never really getting up to a high enough temp to burn the water off.
There`s no sign of oil in the water, but I think I am starting to use / lose a little water now (possibly a half a pint in the last 3000 -
5000 miles) - there are no leaks that I know of, and i`m starting to wonder if it might be the head gasket on its way out.Can anyone give me an indication just how quickly a blown gasket can escalate and cause massive damage, or would I be likely to see far more obvious signs before it went ?
Can anyone tell me what the gas analysis test is called on the coolant, in case I feel the need to go get one done ?
Thanks :-)
