Hi Dave, yeah mine is at the worse stage i think. smoke bellowing out of
bonnet when driving. Major stains on driveway and having to put a litre
of
oil every couple of days. could be garage or scrap man even !!

How old is the car? If it's an old Mondeo, just get some of that "chemical
metal" from halfords and some gunk. Clean the area around the leak with
gunk, then gob some chemical metal on it. It will stop it leaking. Cost you
about a tenner all in.

It's a cowboy fix for sure, but it will work. If it's a newer car, I'd be
tempted to have it done properly, but if you just want to do it cheaply and
have it run, then the chemical metal will work fine IME.
