Hi guys, performance is fine as far as a 1.2 8v goes but last month or so its been very noisy.
sounds almost like a loose part in the engine rattling around.
fair bit of oil leakage which i put down to the sump gasket which i know needs changing.
changed the oil and filter last week thinking it would help but its not.
Now today i looked at the bottom of the oil cap and its got the infamous white milky residue on it.
any help i am guessing head gasket on its way out what should i do as i need the car on the road every day.
any suggestions appreciated.

oh, the breather pipe could also be blocked causing the white stuff.

Or it might be neither. It might just be Condensation from the recent shitty weather coupled to short journeys. Thats whats wrong with mine.
