Re: vn/vp holden HELP

Hmmm I'm no expert mechanic but it sounds like you've cracked or blown the head or head gasket. What is the condition of the water in your radiator? If it's oily then my best guess is the head is stuffed and coolant is seeping out of the water jackets.

Water in the radiator is fine just low oil in the sump is fine but thanks heaps I took the head and the intake manifold to the right people they said that they was fine and all that happened was the manifold gasket packed it in. (ment to be a common problem)
