Sooooo, while tinkering with it yesterday I had another look at the dipstick and oil fill port (been checking it regularly with no issue). Unfortunately yesterday there was milky oil present.

So I have a mechanic mate who will put if back together, I just need to get it to the point where it's cleaned and ready to go.

Obviously there is the underlying issue that caused the overheating in the first place. This may be the old coolant expansion tank, it may not... I took off the water pump and that seems like the bearings have started to fail. There is a small hole built into the outside of the casing that goes into the bearings area. It appears coolant has been leaking through there.


I guess I'll see how I go....
