The oil leak that I suspected was the head gasket has got worse and turns out it was the crank seal!
Seems about right as it started doing it on the cars first long run in years down to Cornwall with previous owner.
I suspect due to the tiny mileages it did up till then (21k from April 2007 till Nov 2014) the seal has shrunk. I don't think many of its journeys were more than a mile or two till then.
I suspect my 24k a year has finished it off!
Anybody done this job?
