Hi, I'm looking for someone to break my heart and confirm that I've probably got a blown gasket?
I bought a DS3 a couple of weeks ago, I've put less than 100 miles on it, and last week I noticed there was no coolant in it. I filled it up but it's quickly going down. Clue 1.
The coolant has changed to a muddy colour. I'm guessing that it's mixing with the engine oil? Clue 2.
It looks like there is some kind of fluid (guessing coolant/oil) leaking out from the side of the cylinder head. Clue 3.
The oil on the dipstick looks pretty thin (though I could be wrong about this one). Clue 4.
Am I correct in thinking that this all points towards a blown gasket?
I've attached some photos.
