Hi all
I have recieved great help from this site in the past so here i am again :)
My 1100 uno fire is always giving problems.lately i had the top gasket replaced. The engine was breathing and leaking oil from the gasket so i sealed it with a gasket sealant. now the water in the cooling system keeps dissapearing. I have to fill the water up daily...

This morning i took the pan of to and found water on the outside of the carb. The water seems to have been exiting from the outlet of the top leading to the pan and there is a light brown sludge coming out from there as well.and quite alot of it.can anybody give me any tips on what to do about this?and why is the water coming out from there? And will this damage my engine? Some water reached my first spark plug beneath the top outlet so wil i have to replace my plugs again?

The engine had a stutter so i turned the distributor up a little bit to increase the revs. This seems to have solved that problem

If anyone can give me some information it wil be most helpful. Google is not helping me much at all
 
checked dipstick now and seems there is water in my oil coz i find this same sludge on the dipstick???
 
Dirty Mayonnaise-like color on your dipstick hey? typical bad head gasket but you replaced it so check if engine block or head is 110% not damaged.

best of luck
