Hi guys, Got a little problem with this Corsa with emulsification around the oil filler cap and in breather pipes (cleared through) and loss of coolant. Vehicle is low mileage for age, no loss of oil and the oil itself is not emulsified. Loss of coolant is approx 1.5 inches over a week with no apparent external loss - have pressure tested and done a HT check in the expansion bottle. Have heard stories of problems with timing cover gasket in water pump area. Vehicle did have a water pump approx 1 year ago but this problem has only been here over the last 6 weeks. Any ideas as to how to differentiate between a head problem and a timing cover problem or any other ideas. Thanks for reading All comments welcome Les
