It looks like I have a serious head gasket leak on my '04 land rover discovery II at 66,655 miles. I have anti freeze on my oil fill cap but not on my oil dip stick and oil on the rear of the engine. Is or how do I diagnose these problem(s).

I see oil at the front and rear of the engine and see oil /antifreeze mix at the front of engine, plus I found anti freeze in the oil fill cap of the engine.

I love this site :-)

Pressure test the cooling system. Listen for a hissing/bubbling sounds and look for the leaks. Use a oil system leak detector dye and black light to check for oil leaks externally.
