So I've recently purchased a 1960 morris minor which I am very keen to get up and running properly so we can do a few family drives in it. My 1st question is how to tell whether the head gasket has failed? The oil seems a bit watery to me but I'm unsure how to tell any other way IMG_20200517_135259....
