- 2002 vx commodore lumnia 3.8L v6
Hey guys I’m very un knowledgeable about cars so I’m going to do my best to type out everything that’s happened,
Brought my vx 2002 commodore lumnia from a dealership that now has me blocked and refuses to see me,
After 2 days I noticed brown liquid with like copper flakes under my radiator cap shown in the photo
I’ve since then had that flushed and re topped up paid 250 for that
2 weeks later (today) I’ve noticed milky white/brown under the radiator cap as seen in other photo
So oil has gotten into my cooling system I’ve been to two mechanics so far and was told
Head gasket and the other said something about a rocker cover gasket and inlet or something manifold gasket
My car isn’t overheating and hasn’t for the weeks I’ve had it I only noticed the substance under my cap cause instinct said to just check it cause why not and that’s what I found
I guess what my question is by what’s given would anyone know what it sorta is and if so roughly how much I’m on the edge of homelessness I spent my last 4grand to get this car to get to and from work also take my child with asd to her 3 weekly appointments the dealer was well aware of my circumstances and still done this… just need to know what would need to be done and how much thank you so much for the help!
