nothing wrong with that other than it looks like the oil cap seal is leaking, or your friend added oil and spilt some. But I'm sure someone will say you need a headgasket. > Sorry for being dim I'm not only learning about cars.. ;-) > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > -- > S i g n a l @ l i n e o n e . n e t

Sorry for being dim I'm not only learning about cars.. ;-)

I asked before about a burning smell, now I think that's the clutch so
scratch that..

My problem is I've had constant coolant level and marginal oil
consumption for years. I lent my car out for one day and both dropped
below minimum. I just hope the coolant isn't in the oil. Could
somebody look at the following pictures and say if they look OK for
synthetic oil, or does the chocolate colour suggest contamination?
