    about 5-7 weeks ago my head gasket went so i had to
    get that done. it cost me around 200 pound to get someone do it for me.

    just lately i noticed my temp gauge kept going
    very high almost in the red..
    so i went and looked into my water looked ok checked my oil
    that looked fine also no yellow stuff in there..so thats ok

    so i fort i would remove one the water pipe. its the one at the
    bottom of the rad. and when i unclipped it
    there it was ALOT!!! of oil dripping out..so i let it all drip out
    flushed the water bottle out as that had some oil in..

    went to drive it the other day and gauge went up again.
    looked again and there is oil again in the water

    what could be wrong..

    there oil looks fine so the head has not gone again..

    sorry to say it but its possible, was the head pressure checked and skimmed, as 200 does sound cheap if they did all that, or maybe they just didnt flush it properly but its unlikly, sorry mate

    if u had your head gasket done, did he pressure test the head and skim it, also did u get a water pump fitted, might of had a air lock in system but sounds to me that heads gone again due to temp gauge going too high. i personally would of got a water pump, timing belt kit, head skimmed and pressure tested and as long as collant bled off correctly no probs what so ever

    All that will be is still some crap in the engine block clean it out a few more times until it has all gone and make sure it is bled propely

    probably got a cracked head, if there is oil in the coolant and temp gauge is getting hot. needs the head off again and pressure testing maybe skimming depending on what the engineering company find. but if you dont get it sorted if could cost you a engine. my mates did
