I have a Peugeot 405 TD and there is black oil in the radiator. What is wrong? It has also been leaking oil down the back of the engine for some time.
There is no sign of water in the oil, dip stick is just oil. When I
last parked up the radiator was leaking at the cap like the pressure was
to high.
Answer: I have feeling it may be a head gasket
on it but without telling anything for sure have a pressure test done
on it and go from there with it, this will drive you crazy guessing at
it. This has all the symptoms of head gasket failure. If this is the xud 8 valve type engine the cylinder heads suffer from internal cracking which necessitates pressure testing to eliminate this possibility. You’ll need to steam clean
the radiator and use other methods to remove the oil or replace it.
Otherwise you’ll have overheating problems. Hope this helps.
