    Default Headgasket?

    Was experiencing a misfire which I put down to a faulty plug or dodgy coil pack. Got spare plugs today, but when I took out the coil pack out, the connector was covered in brown/whitish dried gunk, and the plug was soaking wet and going rusty...

    I am assuming this is the end of my head-gasket...

    Oddly, there is no oil in the water or water in the oil. Water level hasn't really changed at all since I replaced my leaking radiator a few months back.

    On closer inspection, my exhaust manifold (what I can see without removing the heat shield) is looking to be quite badly corroded on the right hand side.

    These likely to just be a totally screwed gasket?

    Car is 2004 1.8, 67k...

    Now the horrible question, how much am I likely to have to spend getting the job done? It's slightly above my level of expertise from what I've seen in the Haynes.

    Just been looking around online, and am now wondering whether the camshaft cover seals are the problem?

    Anyone any ideas? I'm really desperate with this one!
