Re: possible blown head gasket?

dont assume headgasket. im guessing that you actually have a valve cover leak and think its where your head is. that or the oil dropped down to there. can you post a pic?

Re: possible blown head gasket?

update...it was time for an oil change so i took it up to a mech so i could get it up on a lift and i asked to go in the garage and look....its not the head gasket thankfully...its a blown oil pan gasket...anybody else had to replace this? how much did it cost you if you took it to a shop
