Default Head gasket?

Hi all,

always wanted a cossie so finally bought a low mileage example but like every cossie owner I now worry about every little drop of oil, noise, click, water drop etc etc!!! I’m too scared to use it!

i rarely use it as it’s an investment but it’s left in my garage which occasionally steams up as tumble drier is out there.

When i I start it it pisses moisture/steam out the exhaust and seems an excessive amount but most crucially it doesn’t use an ounce of water have never topped it up since flushing the water system 500 miles ago.

damp environment could account for the moisture but it goes on for ages until it’s warm.

not down on power and runs very well, no flat spots no miss fires, plugs are fine, no oil in water or vice versa and pistons are 125-130psi

it does have the optional extra chassis lubrication system and pisses out oil from most places but the exhaust is 100% oil free just carbon and when cold moist with water

am i just worrying too much?
