    my friends 306 with a 1.8 8valve xu engine started suirting oil from the
    filler cap. this mainly happens when increasing revs after sitting at idle
    for a while.i removed the filler cap withengine running and after about a
    minute there was a stream of oil about 4 inches high which appeared to be
    coming from the oil return hole in the cam carrier above no1 pistons
    valves.the head appears to be filling with oil up to the filler neck but
    drops instantly when engine is switched off.i suspect head gasket but
    thought i would see if anyone had any other ideas or agreed.any help much
    appreciated
