Just discovered that my head gasket is blowing. Losing water and goop in oil filler cap. ordered a gasket kit on e bay. Now it's in the hands of Royal Mail.

I seriously doubt it. Blown headgaskets are unheard of on B20s.

I'd have really good look to see if there is a leak somewhere before pulling the head. Cracked radiator necks and heater valves are 140 favourites.

Using water and oil on filler cap creamy! Will get it checked out at the garage later.

It's been sitting around getting worked on. Condensation will cause a bit of mayonaise. Seriously; I've lost count of the number of B18 and B20 engines I've had the head off. Even on ones that have had complete cooling system failures I've yet to see a head gasket failure.

It isn't impossible, but it is improbable.
