Head Gasket

[JustJoe]

Hi guys,
I went to check my oil level this morning and was greeted by this lovely sight, am i right in thinking it is my head gasket on the way out or could it be something else?

1.2?

1.2?

It is, is this a common problem?

Mmmmmmmmmm egg custard. Yep fooked.

Quite a common occurrence on the 1.2 engine... Normally nothing to worry about IIRC.

As per Gray, it's a crap breather system, rather than a fucked gasket.

Really? That's good to know, i had just assumed it was the head gasket. So what needs to be done to fix this then or can it not be fixed and the s**t just needs clearing out every now and then?

Take the breather pipes off and give them a good clean, and run an engine flush through it and change the oil.

For a total noob, mines like this, wheres the breather pipes?
