Quote:Regarding the gearbox oil level, it is better running with a lower level than advised, as long as the gears are revolving in some oil, that is okay.
Thank you for the info Malcolm. But how do I know what the correct level (or lower) should be? Is it just a case using the engine dipstick to measure?
Quote:If you're having to top the rad up that much every time something's not right. It must be going somewhere. Best check. What does the engine oil look like? Is it like mayonnaise? Other possibility is the side water branch on the block, or the rad & connections itself.
The engine oil looks fine. No mayonnaise on the dipstick or under the filler cap. I can't see any leaking out of the engine or steam coming out of the exhaust. I'll have to take a closer look at the rad.
