Hi all
I have an aging Peugeot 306 XSi ('95, 'N' reg). It had the head
gasket replaced several years ago. Recently I've been having
intermittent problems with overheating & loss of oil & coolant, which
I've managed to mitigate this by paying attention to keeping things
topped up. I had a friendly local repair guy check it out and he said
the head gasket was starting to go,but was still OK for now. So I
realise I'm on thin ice at the moment...
Anyway, last week when parking I noticed liquid stains on the ground.
From looking under the car I could see liquid dripping from what
looked like the underside of the engine, driver's side. The liquid
looks like coolant, not oil, & the coolant level is way down.
Although something im****tant is obviously wrong, this doesn't seem to
be what I'd expect to see if the head gasket had actually gone. Any
thoughts on what might have happened and what I might do to check it
out, prior to getting a garage to have a look at it (or scrap it ;-
( )?
Thanks for your thoughts.
Regards
Jon N
