V8 GT
5,800 Miles
9 months old
I was travelling along a dual carriageway around 70 mph and overtook a car, then I looked in
my mirror to pull to the nearside and there was whitish smoke coming from the back, but as I was only 3 miles from home, I slowed down and drove to my house.
I looked under the bonnet and notice oil around the left hand exhaust, which may explain the burning smell, then oil on the drive, then I noticed what looked like oil in the header/expansion tank.
I moved the car when the breakdown truck arrived and looked at the small mess under the car, this consisted of oil AND antifreeze.
Any thoughts, I immediately thought of a head gasket or perhaps the oil pump ?
