Martin-Fiesta-MK6-1.4 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Took my oil cap off today and noticed faint traces of yellow goo on the inside of the cap and the filling tube (very faint) coolant color and level is fine (to the max) and dipstick color is normal, i know this is a symptom of a failing head gasket but is there anything else it could be??

TomsFocus Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 It's not unusual if you do a lot of short runs, the oil doesn't get hot enough to burn off the condensation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
