Yeah, fuel pump needed here. What the other guys say though, make sure it is the head gasket before you do it. Mine is beyond doubt as I have mayo for oil, sludge for water and about half power. Still planning on compression testing it before she comes apart though.

And the glod of natiness it blew out the breather..... well, nasty :)

Some vehicles get milky deposits as a matter of course, I don't think the Zuke is one of them, but how ong has the ar stood for before you bought it?

I would change the oil and filter, flush it through before draining with an engine flush and see if it still does it....

You can also ask a garage to test for carbon on the water, you put some funny blue liquid in a tube and hold it in the water tank if there is carbon it turns green / yellow if it stays blue the gasket is fine....

smart cars oils caps go milky when the breather is blocked.... merc Vito's too.... I'd test for carbon first!

well i have flushed and chaged the oil

i think the head gasket is going, there is a salad cream effect on the inside of the oil filler cap

also i think it uses water not sure how much because i dont use the thing every day but the water level seams to change when i changed the oil the water around 10mm higher before i ran the flush through for 30mins of use 15mins to get the engine warm and 15 mins of flush when the oil was changed the water level had dropped a little

has any one used k-seal

the zuki dosn't get hot , or play up in any other ways

i can't see it being the head gasket bering in mind i drove it home 15 miles and round www.korc.co.uk kirton lindsey for a full day and reved it up to about 4,500 revs up hills round kirton, kirton is about 45 miles from here

ps i have never had a headgasket problem before!!

any one with previous such problems greatly apreasiated its a 93 samurai 1300
