philgor Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 what sort of journey's are you doing with the car, as constant short journey's can cause mayo on the rad cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTEye Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Do you have anti freeze in or just water?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgor Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 hmm, I only do 20 mile's to work and back, and don't get that.... what's the oil cap like, same as the rad cap... i'm not sure if the Honda engine you have, has a an oil cooler, but that may have a small leak....

belfastlad123 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Oil cap and dipstick is spotless. If the oil was getting into water would it not use a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I had an old Vauxhall was mixing slightly was getting mayo on the oil filler. Tbh I drove that car for years with no other symptoms. So maybe just keep an eye on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpo Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 ^^^ vauxhalls are known for that think they get condensation in them!I would flush the radiator top up with new antifreeze and maybe a new cap! To me just looks like a build up of crap! Also might need a new rad if ur losing water! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Ok so just standard s**te Vauxhall. Yes agree with simpo. A flush with fresh fluid would be a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
