Technical Coolant leak + low engine oil pressure

[ahmett]

Noticed coolant leaking everywhere this morning. Noticed coolant low so put some. Drove the car off then temperature redlined stopped and it went back to normal drove again and it went high again but this time still coolant. Then it started saying low engine oil pressure so stopped it and dropped it at the garage !

Oil level also fine

Sounds like the head gasket has failed. CLassic sympton. You can howver check this easily with a sniff test which most garages will do for a sensible charge and it will identify it exactly. Its not beyond repairing thats for sure.

Head gasket is fine they said one of the coolant screws next to the clutch has failed which caused a leak. They said the clutch may also need to be changed they will let me know tomorrow. Engine seems fine so I think the low oil pressure was due to high temperature. There is also a tiny oil leak from the bottom seal so will change that too. Around 250-400 euros depending if they will change the clutch or not. Off to pick up a rental! lol

It was funny in the morning when I saw a big leaking puddle under my car after I drove it for 5 mins!
