   Hey,
   
   I think my head gasket has gone. The cars exhaust is smoking quite alot there is loads of oil around the engine which i think it is comming out of the breather filter and the dip stick comes up pops up. The rocker cover gasket has just gone could it be that. what sort of money to get it done cheers
