so having had the head presure tested and is ok what is the likely hood that this is the problem and how can i tell find out for sertan that it is that, is there anything else that it could be or have i got a scappy on my hands

hi had compresion test done and that came back as good so cant be head gasket is a liner thing a big problem i know less that zero about cars so will need it to be fixed at a garage or some thing is this going to cost me mega money to sort out (what is a liner?)

hi do have loss of coolant my hoses do stiffen up but i would not say they were rock hard far from it it never over heats and runs fine other than my mpg has dropped to about 6mpg (dont know if mpg is related or a seperate problem ) i did put some K-seal in to try and stop leek but it still leeks had head presure tested they said it was fine so cant be head gaskit prob also had water pump replaced but cant find sorse of leek even tried using a dye in the coolant but still sign where water going regards simon
