A couple of months back the engine overheated, found the coolant to be low so topped up. temperatures have been fine since.
Have been losing coolant ever since.
It seems coolant keeps flowing out of the radiator into the overflow bottle and then overflowing from there leaving the radiator low.
Replaced the radiator cap with a genuine new one.
I though all was well when the radiator was still full after after a couple of weeks.
I've since found the overflow bottle full again and the radiator low.
I have found a small ammount of white crud under the radiator cap.
And what seems to be an oily film on the inside of the overflow bottle.
Oil seems fine and under the cap is all clear.
Engine is running well as it always has.
I am suspecting head/head gasket could be the problem.
Anyone got any advice for me?
