I posted about my coolant issue on another forum. When I started the engine, white smoke appeared from the exhaust. I discovered that the head gasket seal in the corner is leaking oil, which is allowing some oil to enter the first cylinder head, causing smoke and gas bubbles to escape through the radiator cap.

Since I removed the head gasket, I noticed that the seal was in poor condition. I've now refitted a new head gasket seal, but I realized that the Haynes manual I have is for a petrol engine, not a diesel 1.3 engine. I'm unsure about the correct torque settings for this engine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
