Coolant always low and murky
For the pass couple of weeks I've noticed that my coolant reservoir has traces of oil in it. Plus, whenever i fill up the reservoir with 50/50 mix of honda coolant it is guranteed to be low in 1 week. No leaks whatsover. No overheating. No tracking just normal daily driving. Any ideas what's going on ? thanks.

Re: Coolant always low and murky (pkjie108)
Could be a blown head gasket. If your oil looks like chocolate milk (murky) and your blowing out white smoke when you drive, then those are symptoms of the headgasket. Some people also say it smells sweet too. Good luck

On another note, anyone know where I can send my head to be resurfaced and checked around the bay area? I just don't want to replace the head gasket only to have a warp head as well.

It also tastes sweet. Not that I'd know...
To the OP: I can almost guarantee it's your head gasket. If it's not bad now, it will be...I learned the hard way. If you can, do a leakdown test; that will help to determine where it's leaking. Get it fixed ASAP...you don't want to expletive up your daily driver.
