    water in catch tank

    Anyone like to hazard a guess as to why my oil catch tank keeps filling up with fresh water? just had head gasket done, cant see water leaking anywhere into it. still got loads of friggin mayo in the rocker cover.....NEW turbo has been taken off and is being sent back to have another going over. but any other suggestions? im at the end of my tether.


    cheers

        How often should a catch tank be cleaned out?

          really?

          You be surprised how much water is generated in the heating up cycle of an engine, that is why it always wise to let it reach normal operating temperature and not regular short trips to the shops.
