hi

about 20 min ago drove my freelander through a big puddle, now it has a lack of power creamy oil in the oil cap and its blowing badly through the oil filler hole

i'm hoping my head gasket has gone and that i haven't warpped the blocks or cracked them.

any ideas if this is what's happened and any guess at a price

cheers

sounds like head gasket but could be as bad as fooked conrods & pistons cause you've sucked water into the engine?? As to price that really depends on A: what you've actually done to it & B: which garage you take it to. Did you stop to collect the doors once you'd got out of the puddle??
