Default WITW - Mark's poorly Dolphin

Next up in the workshop is Mark's Dolphin Grey S8:



Its nice to have a Dolphin Grey in the workshop again while mine is still in winter storage. It feels 'comfortable' for some reason.

Why poorly though? This is the contents of the sump



There is no oil in the coolant, so its not the oil cooler. Logically therefore its either a headgasket or a crack somewhere. Obvious we're hoping its just a gasket, but I'll be doing some pressure testing to find out once the engine is stripped down.

I'll start on removing the engine and gearbox tomorrow.
