Thread: TD5 oil in coolant

Hi Folks.

On the trip home from work today I stopped for fuel and noticed some coolant under the Disco. I popped the bonnet and noticed a pin hole in one of the hoses. Not a new thing seems to be a hose on its way out most of the time. Temp was OK level too. So I drove home the last few Km's with no dramas.
On inspection of the hose I noticed some what looked like oil spray marks, Thinking the hot water and bit of steam had made the old oil look new I moved on to removing the old hose. As I pulled the old hose off a lot of oil and coolant spewed out.

Well I'm thinking I have a shot Head gasket but would like to know if there maybe something that is common to the TD5 that this maybe. A search here has showed up nothing.

Cheers

Richard..
