But..........
The engineer has had a look today and reckons that its not a head gasket but a small gasket below the rocker cover (Ok I'm no mechanical hotshot...) which is easily fixable and should cure the small oil leakage.
The thing that bugs me at present is the constant coolant loss from each engine. The facts are that after a run there is coolant loss and it lays in the bilges yet the engines have not (so far at least) overheated. I don't think its coming out of the expansion tank but I am going to stick the pipe into a bottle to test it.
I wonder whether anyone can suggest an explanation for this loss and what I can do to rectify it baring in mind they are Volvo TAMD41bs?
I am glad that so many agreed with me that replacing the engines would be silly....... ;-)
Thanks
Nick
