Means your cylinder head gasket is leaking. Usually happens
as the engine ages.
Symptoms may be bubbles rising to the top of your radiator
cap, overheating, reduced engine power.
Try pulling out your spark plug cables in turn while engine
is running. If one (or two) of them drops RPM more than the
others, it either means the gasket is blown at the part where that cylinder is.
my car has this problem b4 and i didnt bother it untill 1 day the engine overhaul. i think lake of engine oil or maybe the oil mixed with water.. the workshop said the gasket leak.. they he said changed it and show me its like a piece of thin layer thing im not sure.. cost me around 4-5k including changing the piping and pump or wad i also dunno.. so exp.. after change ok, fine.. used for few week then i open the radiator cap and i saw still alot the brownishhh oil.. WTF? i call and asked he said those oil is from previous one and stuck at radiator need time to slowly fill and pour it out? my question, is it true? or anything should i do now? as the engine ages.
