|  Is this my Head Gasket Gone!!! Very Worried at these pics I have only had the car 2 weeks and went to do a few checks before and when i removed the oil cap there was a mayonaise type substance in the oil chamber and on the cap. The car has done 65,000 miles and the last keeper has it as a second car and this was only used for short town trips. There also seems to be what i can describe as condensation in the oil chamber. The engine coolant is fine and isnt going down or losing water and dosent smell of oil. Here are the links to the pictures i have just taken... http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...yoinOilCap.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...oonOilCap2.jpg http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/j...yoonoilcap.jpg Is thi something i should worry about and will it get worse or better? I am worried sick as the car is booked into skoda to get a new sunroof seal fitted on tuesday as thats leaking  Forgot to mention it is a 1.6 engine - Thanks. |

| Re: Is this my Head Gasket Gone!!! Very Worried at these pics I wouldn't worry about that amount. Clean it off, treat the car to some decent journeys where it gets warm, and check the cap from time to time.

| Re: Is this my Head Gasket Gone!!! Very Worried at these pics You will always get a bit, the 1.6 and the 2.0 form a lot of condensation in the cam box area due to thier breathing system.
