Hi Stian
One thing to ask is has your car been rich at all ?
If so then it might be unburnt petrol in the oil that
has got there the combustion chambers.
If it has been running rich and you have now sorted
the problem it is best to do an oil and filter change.

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.

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
