hopefully it's not the head gaskets, but at that mileage it sounds ohhhhh too familiar. it could be some other things like the pump, or hoses going to and from it, check everything first before you assume it to be the head gaskets, as that is the most expensive fix-it job for a leak usually. if it is a head gasket problem, then there are a lot of good things to replace and fix while your back side is dissasembled. write this list back for a complete list to take care of while your getting new head gaskets....if this is the case. good luck, jeff ps, you can still drive around awhile with a gasket leak, just eventually it gets worse and will NEED to be fixed.. |
