Oil in expansion tank

Chompy · 03-04-2008, 07:12 AM

Hi i have found that i have i film of oil on top of the water in my expansion tank on my 1.9 tdi, The car never overheats and there are no visible signs that the head gasket is leaking, also does anyone know where the temp gauge sensor is on a 1991 2.3 20 valve coupe.

If your car is an auto, check that you are not losing auto transmission fluid. You may find the cooler line in the radiator is cracked and letting the fluid into to water and visa versa.
