phil,

get a new gasket and torque it back up, if its the base gasket, u'll need to replace the head gasket as well. best do it soon cos u dont want it to overheat and cause more damage. its an easy job

Phil,

You may have baked the head gasket, just replace it. I found it quite starightforward to do but its kinda fiddly as the CRM engine sits so close to the frame. A morning's work should see it done :-)
