I took my Stilo Multijet for a Terraclean Service on Saturday. Whilst it was being done the car sprung a coolant leak.
The leak was coming from the pipe leading from the expansion tank.
I took the car back today to have the pipe 'bodged' (cut a length of the pipe out and replace with copper pipe)
However upon inspection the pipe was gummed up with oil and had deteriorated due to the oil, causing the leak.
The garage said it's either a head gasket (they think unlikely as it's not using coolant, there's no 'mayonnaise and it's not overheating) or its the oil cooler.
I've checked online and can't find mention of the Stilo having an oil cooler fitted to this engine.
So my question is: do any of you know whether the Stilo Multijet has an oil cooler and secondly have any of you experienced the oil in coolant problem?
