    Head gasket but strange?

    I was worried about that. Went to a place near me called camerons got a special bolt. Was something wierd inbetween metric fine and extra fine threads. Wouldnt have forced anything:happy107: if anything the threads are too slim and oil is creeping up. Went in hand tight nice and smooth. Youre...

    Head gasket but strange?

    Ok so heres my update ive been very busy meant to look into **** for real over the weekend, didnt get to. But i noticed one thing, i had a slight bit of coolant pooled up on top of the intake manifold right where it meets the heads. Sitting against the valve covers. Sooo prolly thermostat is...

    Head gasket but strange?

    Oh and heres where the leak runs down. You can see on the left side where its about to drip off. Drivers side of that is always worse.

    Head gasket but strange?

    Which again brings my point today of how strange this is. Like i said, you saw the picture of what it looked like before. Today? Straight plain old oil again. It rained on and off all day today. So i think the who condesation and mixing on the ground theory could be bust. Heres a pic of the leak...

    Head gasket but strange?

    Yes have considered the rear main although im prayin its not lol. Did have trouble with one valve cover though. New gasket, covers, even got the spreaders that go under the bolts to prevent warping. It almost seems to me that the corner of the head is worn down a hair maybe just from having a...

    Head gasket but strange?

    But i can say it is leaking from the engine. Runs down where the fly wheel cover usually is (dont have one on) drops off of the two corners of that, where they run at a downward angle from the engine. I can post a pic of where exactly its dripping down if anybody is so interested in that

    Head gasket but strange?

    Lol i was actually wondering " why the **** dont they make a dye for leaks" last night. So thats good to hear. I agree, trans mix usually looks like strawberry milk or somethin. Ive thought about the whole condensation thing it kind of makes sense but i just didnt think with as viscous as oil is...

    Head gasket but strange?

    I dont know what to make of this. Today there is nothing but plain oil spots under it, no mixed at all. Im just gonna say **** it until/ if ever the problem rears its ugly head. Not losing really any oil or coolant. Not overheating. Not burning anything off. Just gonna have to keep an eye on it

    Head gasket but strange?

    Also, cant seem to find the leak. Took a decent look. Like i said it seems to happen AFTER the engine is cool like overnight. And at that point, it all has ran off. The back of the engine is relatively dry again and if there is anything, its just plain oil not the mixed. Could it be because of...

    Head gasket but strange?

    Thats alot to take in lol. Appreciate you taking the time for all that. So basically if that did happen to be the problem, youre saying the gasses arent being exhausted through the pcv, so eventually the gasses condensate and mix with the oil, causing it to look like that? Wouldnt that just cake...

    Head gasket but strange?

    Again though wouldnt the freeze plugs just be coolant? I may be wrong
