MORE 'D' BLUES

Thinking that I now have the DeLorean running well following the fuel
distributor issue, I'm faced with yet another problem. Yesterday I decided
to change the oil and coolant and noticed the odd small particle of oil in
the coolant. So I changed the oil and filter, flushed the cooling system
and refilled it with a fresh glycol mix. I also replaced the oil pressure
switch with a new one as the existing switch had been weeping oil around
its seal. Anyway, I took the car for a short drive and returned home to
bled the system and was surprised to see oil throughout the cooling
system. Not just small particles, but a complete mixture of oil and
glycol. In fact, the glycol was a grey colour and frothing in the header
bottle. When I released the bleed screw, oil and water mixture went
everywhere. I'm hoping that the problem is just a head gasket and nothing
more serious. Knowing my current run of bad luck, it will be more serious.
