Ldear sir
recently oil is showing in my header tank. It is a turbo diesel engine and I am concerned that maybe the head gasket is passing oil to the water jacket. The engine is running perfectly and not boiling over. I was told this is a common fault with this engine and it is not the head gasket at all, but another part of the engine causing the problem. Can you advise me please.
