Hi,
A mate of mine has a 1.2 12v(i think) corsa B. Recently it has started drinking his petrol alot. £10 would normally last about 3 days, but at the moment it is only lasting 1 1/2 days, if that. With the same miles and the same kinds of driving.
Any ideas what could be causing this? His exhaust smokes a little bit but it is more white smoke than blue. And it also doesnt smell to rich (or atleast it didnt when i last saw it a few days ago)
His radiator suddenly developed a leak and is drinking all of his water, but that has nothing to do with it im sure 
Any help would be good.
