RE: [doc] Traces of oil (?) in coolant

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think I'd get too excited about "traces" if it gets more than
that, then you may have a problem.  Simply remove one or two of the
rubber hoses off the engine, then stick the hose pipe up each direction
for several minutes after it has all run clean. Remember to use a good
quality antifreeze to inhibit rusting/ corrosion.  Messy, but not easy
to cock up.

Subject: [doc] Traces of oil (?) in coolant
 
Maybe this has been covered before... still -
I've noticed a rainbowish colour in the coolant (like petrol in water)
It's not much - very little in fact - is this normal, if not what do I 
do? Am I in for a head gasket job? Or?

Also, does anyone have a simple procedure on how to change the coolant 
yourself? Thanks.

Best wishes
