Hi all

My R-Reg Puma 1.7 has got a severe oil oil leak. A friend has told use that he thinks it is the head gasket. However, I have been told that you cannot replace the head gasket on the puma... the entire cylinder head will need to be replaced. Is this correct?

Thanks!
Jo

there have been a couple Pumas where the head gasket has been replaced if that helps, from reading posts

perhaps look to use a different garage smile.gif or talk to a different garage
searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale

The head gasket can be replaced, if that is the problem.

No location in your profile, so look for a Puma garage here:
