Hello and welcome to another oil related problem encountered by the great Faisal.
ok lets cut to the chase, basically iv had my car serviced recently (cambelt,waterpump etc)
and i was advised that i have a really nasty oil leak coming from my back left corner of my head gasket. aparently the rubber has worn or something is letting the oil seep out in streams.
it explains pools of oil that i have encountered at random times with the car recently.
but they reccomend i take it to a Seat specialist to sort out because they dont have the tools (??) for it....
i have noticed a loss in performance,and dont know if this links to it...
iv been quoted around £500 for labour as it requires a lot of stripping...
does this sound right? has this happened to anyone? experience loss in performance?
is it worth forking out that much for a head gasket replacement?
