    head gasket on the way out back pressure blowing steam out overflow on expansion bottle.
    am aware of some posts slagging k seal, in the respect it clogs up channels, and have also seen some rave reviews!
    to be honest am stuck between a rock and a hard place simply havent got the money to re do head.
    am aware of potential negatives, anyone out there used it on a pd130 with any success please!
    all input appreciated.

    K seal type additives are only any good for external leaks (holes in radiator cores etc). If it is building up high pressure it is likely the gasket is blown, but check the water is circulating properly, if not it could be that the water pump impeller has come loose. Good luck.
