1999 1.4 Cylinder Head Gasket? - PCadywould

Hi, my son has an 8 year old manual 1.4 Peugeot 306, and has noticed a little amount of oil on the ground overnight about the size of 3ins by 5 ins. He has looked at the engine block and it seems to be leaking at the joint of the cylinder head/engine block. This seems like a head gasket needing replacement. How can he tell? Could it be anything else? The engine isnt losing power or anything, and there doesnt seem to be water contamination of the oil.

Any definitive information gratefully received!

Thanks,

Paul
