Engine problems:(

[Chris!]

The mk1 cortinas engine just started kicking loads of smoke out the back and i had to turn the engine off as it wouldnt clear, is it the piston rings

head gasket blown, white = water, blue=oil, and black is fuel . . oh and brown is rust

[w p e]

so what colour if the oils mixing with the water or vise versa. sounds like a simple head gasket problem. 1.1/2 job done
