Ok, I noticed the other day that I had some oil in the water tank and then checked to see if there was any gunk on the oil cap but there was nothing. I only had the head skimmed and a new gasket done about a year ago, mind you it has done 95k. Is this the early signs of it going again or could there be something else I could do to get to it early, if it is on it's way out?

Mileage dont mean anything mate, Depends if you look after the engine really, Warm it up etc etc.

But it sounds like its gone again unfortunately!

I found out that the head is off an Astra if that makes any difference?

I havent looked into your profile, But I take it you have a 1.4?

If so then it doesnt make a difference I think there the same heads anyway. If its a 1.4 then get a 1.4 SRi head there better & get it ported & polished etc, Then that should give a few bhp.
Sounds like youre gonna have to do the head gasket again.
