Coolant loss, lack of power, white smoke out of the back?

Compression test sometimes highlights an issue with the gasket too.

If your oil is clean it might have just been changed?

A garage mechanic can take a sample of the coolant water and test it for combustables contamination

Nathan good luck with the car :thumbsup:

Been there a couple of times :(

As Jappy said + if the oil filler cap has "cream" on it or your coolant reservoir is filled with black oily goo, you have trouble. :(

Best of luck with the car & enjoy the forum. Welcome :thumbsup:
