rite ive got a c20xe corsa gsi and ive noticed the coolant water is getting oil in and goin thick and muddy brown so i think its head gasket or porus head but does it sound like the rite diagnosis as the car runs fine doesnt get hot and the oil cap doesnt go creamy its like oil is getting into the water but no water gets in to the oil help as i want to no changing the head will sort the problem and its not somthing else
sound like the head gaskets gone, get that changed and head skimmed, if the head is porus then get a by pass tube on it!! problem solvedthe reason why you don't have water in your oil is because the oil galleries have a higher pressure than the water galleries
Got the same on mine, most likely porous head, see this link for info C20XE & C20LET - Porous Heads.....
On the road to improvements. My the Lord of motive power keep us all SANE
