Hi!
I have an 06 Fiat Stilo 1.4l 95hp, I noticed sometime last week a gurgling noise inside the crankcase which gets louder when I pull the dip stick or unscrew the oil cap,there is a lot of blowby, if I wipe the dipstick clean and start the engine, oil gets splashed on half of the dipstick, also you can feel how much blowby is when you put your hand close to the oil cap
Today I also noticed a light colored foam on the dipstick after a 20 minutes drive.
I suspect the head gasket it's blown, but when I asked a mechanic he told me that it's normal because there is no oil in the expansion tank and the engine is not overheating.
What do you guys think is happening? Thank you
