Thank you for all the info and suggestions.
No evidence of oil in the coolant resevoir. Topped with a little more coolant and will see how that fares over the next few days. Checked the dipstick again on Monday morning only small fleck of the coffee coloured fluid present. Checked this again on Tuesday am no sign of it. but beads of condensation on the higher parts of the stick itself, so I'm hoping that its more condensation than HG. Will continue to monitor oil and coolant though. Changing out the oil and filter next week as its due anyway but will probably run a cheaper oil through and change again as suggested. Thanks again. SFB
