Advice please chaps.
The missus' fiesta has gone through all of its oil and all of its coolant in the last 2 weeks (full service before MOT). It is overheating like a mofo and smoking like a train.
Point to add, the sump is completely dry (no water either), there is no patch of oil outside or signs of leaks. The header tank was also completely dry and again no signs of leaks.
My theory is that the gasket has gone in more than one place and has been running on its own oil and water then chucking it out the back.
Any help appreciated, its just cooling down now, once cool I will fill it back up and see where we are.
