    yep on the dip stick mate nothing on the cap. no excess pressure in header tank, and had new head gasket not long ago. radiator has had a crack for a while, rad welded,
    it occured to me a crack in rad might have cracked through to oil cooler. i hope anyway

    When the weather is as cold as it is at the moment and with the dipstick being were it is right at the front behind the rad. What it might be is just condonsation and oil in the dipstick tube. If the oil looks o.k. through the filler cap hole dont worrie to much about it..
