I'd say its a good place to start, aside from a compression test, and lookin to see if you are low on coolant.....

Re: (x_outlaw_x)
I took it to a shop bc i didnt feel like taking half my motor apart...i called about a gasket at advanced....25.00 for the gasket...but you should replace the timing belt and all of that so...im not sure what the price would be....They are charging me $500 for the parts/labor...So go from there....
