Same exact thing just happened to my 91 GL with 100000 miles on it. The chaNGE IN TEMP ALLOWS THE GASKETS TO EXPAND AND CONTRACT WHICH CAUSES THE HAEDS TO LEAK. yOU ARE JUST STARTING TO LEAK SO CHECK YOUR COOLANT EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE ON IT FOR AWHILE. I decided to not fool witht the stains on my driveway and get it fixed. $800 to replace all rubber gaskets in the heads. Good luck |
