I hope someone will help us to pin point the actual problem My mate drives Punto 1.2 16v ELX speedgear 2001 automatic, he travelled to Wales from london and when he returned he noticed a oil dripping down the engine and he called a mechanic to diagonise the problem and he said its head gasket:bang: which I thought as well. Since then, the car wont start and he just bought a new battery into the car. I thought maybe there is water in the cylinder or I'm just guessing based on the fact that the car drove down to Wales and back, just decided to pack up. Please I just want to know if this problem has actually cause a serious damages to the cylinders or we'll need another engine so he can decide on what to do with it please. I appreciate every contribution. Thank you in advance.
