After collecting a 1991 205 and driving it 230 miles here I found oil on the top of the coolant, maybe 2 or 3mm deep. First thought clearly head gasket, but the engine drives nicely, does not overheat, the reservoir does not pressurise and there is no mayo in the oil filler. My indie has checked it and says the HG is OK. I suppose it is just possible that some oil or even PAS fluid was put in by mistake, but are there any other possibilities?
Engine is the TU 1360cc, non-injection - it has a choke !! Read more

Is there an oil seal at the water pump?
Remember winter?
Buy one if you do. Read more

it still sounds like a coil pack problem, the drop in compression could be bore wash from the faulty cylinder. when did he get the coil pack replaced? Did you do wet and dry compressions?
