End of the road maybe.

Looking like end of the road for the old girl.
Possible head gasket gone or something more on the v6.
Very odd only done 73 thousand.
Serviced every year since it was made.
Water loss out of the cap every time it's used.
Started the trip to work tonight and after just 10 miles was steaming and coolant around the expansion tank.
When parked up temp was a constant 97c when driving was up to 100c.
Fan kicks in ok at the 100c

New thermostat new temp sender. No sign of coolant loss around the vee or engine. So guess is into the engine.
