Hi Guys and Girls,
Have recently bought a Fiat Punto 2000 reg Mk2 8v. Since buying it have had to replace injectors and fuel pump, but have now developed another issue and am not sure whether it is the Head Gasket or something else.
The car starts fine, but when the car is warm there is a smell of burnt oil and smoke coming from the passenger side of the bonnet, then I get an intermittent loss of power in third and fourth gears.
There is no signs of creamy oil in the breath hoses or around the filler cap and coolant is clear and has not changed levels since I purchased the car four weeks ago.
Can see signs of an oil leak on the passenger side of the engine, below the ignition coils.
Any advice would be greatfully received, as I am no tech wizard when it comes to the engine and am low on funds.
Cheers
