Yes i know, but as you can see im a real n00b when it comes to cars, so i cant tell whats normal and whats not. I have done a few search regarding glycol and oil, and all i have found is that the glycol in the coolant filler tank should be perfectly clear (blue, red or orange)

Thank you!
I will check those things tomorrow. Little pressure is normal for older engine, like you said. Is it because the engine is worn out?

Yes its the filling cover for the oil, nothing else :D
So then my father is totaly wrong, he claims that there shouldnt be any pressure, and that its strange that the engine runs slow without the cap on

Thanks for your repiles !
My lousy english makes you and me confused :D
I will try to explain which lid i mean :D
You know the place where you fill up with oil, before you can fill it, you have to remove a cap/lid, is it called valve cover?

No i mean the tank (sorry about my bad english!) where u fill oil, if u open the lid, and have the engine running, there shouldnt be any oil drops coming up from it. Thats what i have on my car , not much, just some drops. :|

Never heard of Noverox, but i will surely see if i can get it here. Otherwise you could send me a package :P
I asked a friend to take a look under the car, reading the inspection papers, there never been any complaints about rust during the years. Lets hope it will last.

Yes, its true, making it look nicer just spraying with paint over the rust wont help. I will have to repair the brakes soon, so i could ask them to take a look at the rust also. Might be expensive though.
