After a long run to the coast and back, my 1.5 D Clio started to make what sounded like a 'Squelching hissing' noise from the engine.
I pulled over straight away and carefully opened the bonnet. Oil was pouring out of the expansion tank and on later inspection it looked to be dripping down from underneath the middle of this car (although this could just be run off from expansion tank??)
Prior to this, the car had been running fine, and the temperature gauge never moved from half way which is the norm for this car. The only thing that was out of the ordinary was that it seemed to using a lot more fuel than normal.
Does this sound like head gasket issue or cracked head? I'm no mechanic but it looks like the car is as good as scrap to me.
