Hiya folks - not been around much recently due to baby / wife / work.....
Just been giving the truck a monthly once over - found the oil level had dropped off the dipstick and coolant level dropped dramatically as well. topped up both - 2litres coolant and same for the oil.
I've noticed just recently how smokey (white) the truck is when pulling away from traffic lights after ideling for a few mins, also lots of white smoke when starting hot.
no signs of water leaking nor oil. dipstick/filler cap clear of emulsion. no loss of power.
EDIT - just ran engine with expansion bottle lid pulled to one side - lots of smallish bubbles( pea sized) in coolant - esp' when revving.
Head cracked? gasket gone?
Come on guys - tell me as it is - is she fcuked?
any ideas - other tests???
