Is this head gasket or more serious?
I have bought a non-running 99 Astra 1.7 Turbo Diesel which has the following symptoms;
Water pipe split under preasure and covered engine bay with dirty water.
Oil in airbox
White smoke comes out the back if trying to tow start, lots of it. Van will splutter but not run.
After trying to tow start, many drops of black oil or diesel were over the boot lid.
Is this a sign of something more serious than say a head gasket?
Should I ditch the engine a just put a new one in?
