Maintenance/Repairs

I bought this car for my mother to use when visiting Australia. She prefers to drive a small car.

The only trouble is that is has started leaking oil into the coolant, lots of it!

There is no apparent loss of coolant into the exhaust or into the sump.

Nevertheless I am assuming that this is a head gasket job that I am going to have to tackle myself one day as the price quoted for doing it is rather more than the car cost.
