So I've got the cambelt done and had the engine bay steam cleaned of all oil misting/contamination in order to keep an eye on the exterior of the engine and pin point any leaks - TLDR; Turns out that cleaning the misted oil off, I've discovered that the HG has gone. The HG has now been agitated from the cleaning and oil is now exiting from the head cylinder. So yeh now the whole lot has to come off again!
Recall what happened last year.. Around July 2017? I was out driving and the bottom retaining clip for the radiator hose came off, I lost ALL my coolant. It's only until now that it's clicked, my engine bay only begun getting grimy after that incident so it is no surprise whatsoever that I've probably cooked the head gasket last year and I've been driving around for over a year with a teeny tiny oil leak. The misting of the oil had in essence created a seal.
Good news at the end of the day, at least I still have the opportunity to have it repaired before it was any worse. Hope to get some photos from the garage while they do the job. There there was also a leak from the oil pressure sensor, which has been replaced.
