    bad news about old blue

    I might have to get rid of Old Blue, my 1994 olds cutlass surpreme. I think I may have blown the head gasket. I filled the overflow tank this morning and went to the flea market. I came out and saw a lot of coolant on the pavement and coolant leaking under the gasket I limped it home and parked it. I'm going to have my brother look at it and we'll go from there.

    What really sucks is that the car is 12 years old with only 71,500 miles!!

    Oh no! Not old blue! Maybe it's just a hose or something that is dripping down and making it look like it's coming from the gasket??

    Fingers crossed!!!
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    Connie, I thought it was that too at first, but I took a closer look and saw it coming out from under the head. I hate to give her up, but it looks like I may have to!

    Fingers and paws crossed here for ole Blue as well, sorry to hear of your car troubles my friend, head gaskets are mighty expensive things to fix, here's hoping it is not that and something easy fixable.

    David,

    If it IS the headgasket leaking, one thing you may want to have someone TRUSTED try is to very, very carefully re torque the head bolts. If it has cast iron heads that can sometimes help (depending on whether the gasket is still seated in place). If it has cast aluminum heads you may have to get rid of the car, normally aluminum heads crack when they warp.
