Do a pressure test and have a look at your dip stick. If its a milky brown/grey colour you have water.Why does the motor have to come out. Surely it doesnt to do a head gasket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check passenger footwell to make sure there is no fluid inside the cabin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
