   It could affect the heating, as it may have caused loss of coolant, and it's the coolant that provides the heat in the heater, so if you're low on coolant your heater's usually the first thing to go. (On most cars that is - my saxo knowledge is weak!). So it's possible the two are related. But if you've oil in your water I'd not be going far in it anyway. Have you got water in your oil too?
   
   (Will usually look like mayo when they mix)
