Classic signs of head gasket failure im afraid judy, the gunk or as we call it moyonnaise on the filler cap is the oil mixing with the water and the steam out of the exhaust is where the water is tryin to be burnt off in the piston chambers.

Depending what sintra you have, either way its not goin to be cheap, if you have the 2.0, it will be cheaper as the 2.2 is a V6 and they will have to drop the engine out to do both head gaskets as they are a pain in the arse to work on.

In all honesty, either get the car repaired and sell it or go for a new car under the scrappage scheme as parts for this car are gettin very hard to come buy unless you want to fork out an arm and a leg ordering parts from the usa via vauxhall.
