look under the oil filler cap aswell. Could be a sign of imminent head gasket failure, then again it could just be a bit of oil has got into the water.

Haribo, i might be interested in your seats when it goes bang!!!  :laugh:
Sounds suspisiously like your head gasket may be blown or blowing.
Take it to a garage and get them to do a Head Gasket test.
