I rebuilt the engine about 3500 miles ago, lovely little job all new parts everything torqued up correctly. The engine is running as sweet as a nut and I regularly sit with the car at 85/90 mph, just recently it has started to loose a little coolant, maybe a cup full every 500 miles, and there is a white oil emulsion appearing in the coolant header tank. No emulsion in the engine oil.
Is this likely to be head gasket failure, or are there other places that the oil and water come close?
What stops oil and water meeting each other in the water cooled turbo?
I can't remember if there are other places around the block that have galleries near each other.
