I have recently bought a 2001 Vauxhall Astra 1.7 diesel and have discovered that oil is getting into the coolant bottle. I was wondering if any1 would know the cause of this and a rough estimate of how much it would cost to repair. Thanks

Suggest you flush and refill coolant system and see oilreturns. As long as engine running well then common reasons for oil in coolant don't apply
