blown head gasket?
yeah their is oil all over the bottom end of my block coming from the head gasket area. i tryed the gunk remover to make sure that it is coming from that area and it is so is it a blown head gasket? the car isnt heating up to past normal and i dont feel a power loss. any imput is helpful i am smoking a little tho its a clearish white smoke but i am full on rad. fluid soo its not that, it brings me back to the head gasket. any imput? thanks.

Doesnt sound like a headgasket to me, if your headgasket blew...youre temp gauge would show that youve overheated. Also if you remove your valve cover...there should be a nice milky mixture of coolant/oil

It's very common to experience some headgasket leakage at that particular corner of the engine. Cam seal leakage is also common. Other than making things dirty and slight oil loss, there are no adverse side effects.

Re: (kevin716)
My GS-R was leaking from the left lower corner of the head. What was causing the leak was the 10mm bolt on the upper left corner of the head. I took out the bolt and put some liquid teflon on it and the leak stopped. Check if oil is leaking from that little bolt.

is ur radiator overflow tank have more than normal?might be a small leak in the headgasket so not all of the times would it have milky coolant. check out ur cam seals, if they look fine. white smoke out of ur exhaust is coolant. id drive it hard for a lil bit and see if u can get it to act up. see if u have excessive coolant in ur resevoir. or you could just change the head gasket and cams seals and be fine

i was thinking it was a small leak too my coolant is at normal and i have been driving it hard like going to about 5000 in 2nd too see how bad it is but i would say that the white-ish smoke isnt too bad but its some times a little too smoky but i think on winter break a new headgasket is going on along with cam seals. too just make sure. i know its alot of work but i'll be stuck inside or in the garage anyways with suspenion stuff to do.
