Just been away for 2 weeks, had a great time, leaving the UK was a nightmare, and arriving back as well, so after 2 weeks, 4hour drive home im looking forward to getting back... 30 miles from home....

Only 2.5hrs late home, which isnt that bad I guess. And I saved myself some fuel too I guess :p Turns out to be a blown manifold gasket, pretty cheap to sort.
 
Yes, exhaust manifold.

At first I didn't know what it was, I sat for a while waiting for it to cool to check the oil etc, although I had only driven 250 miles since I checked since I left home 2 weeks ago. (Oil is fine btw), and I didnt see the steam coming out until the first bloke came, I guessed it was the manifold before he came but didnt want to chance it, I tried to get them to bring the flatbed straight off but they didnt, only took an extra 30 minutes though. I didn't mind that much, didnt have to drive home, and I was about to join the 5pm comute rush so I missed all that.
