need to know what it is as this is the only drivable car at the moment as mine is dead.
is it the head gasket?? looked at the oil cap, a spot of white no more. dont smell creamy more oil.
hers is a saxo 1ltr (womens saxo not boy racer type)
99.99% sure it is the head gasket mate
same thing happened on my mums 106 (same car) as the headgasket goes, the goo forms in the rad. then you see it when you take the cap off
chances are you may need a new rad too as ours did.
my advice is to flush the radiator and cooling system fully, then refill go for a drive and see if it sludges up any more
does the car overheat at all?
