I've been noticing my coolant is REAL dirty inside the overflow tank. So today I decide to change the coolant. When I'm draining it out, I see some small brown clumps floating around. Great... no actually ****!!! This is really leaning toward a leaky head gasket. I've also been noticing my oil level going down but it doesn't look a milkshake. Is it possible to loose oil into the coolant but still not get any water in the oil?? Very odd. Now how in the hell do I determine WHICH head is leaking?? Or could it be something else?? Anyone!!! WTF else could go wrong?? I already replaced the back side headgasket. I guess the front side just now went?? argg. I'm really starting to hate this car. WTF have I NOT done so far. Geeez

So far: VTCs, Exhaust manifold studs, rear head gasket, 2 clutch jobs, cleaned/balanced injectors,brake job, cv joints. Someone give me a gun..

 

One way to tell which head it is, is to pull the spark plugs. Any spark plug that looks different from the rest should be looked at more carefully. There may be antifreeze itself on the plug. If the plug looks cleaner or has a white powder on it then it may be that head.

 

How many miles do you have on the car?

I have 120k on the car. The rear HG has been replaced by me. Who knows maybe I screwed up the rear side but I did it about 1-2 years ago.
