Default DarkBB4 posting: blown head gasket?

hey i realized today that my car was leaking oil mixed with coolant in my driveway... there are a few puddles, because i was moving my car up and down the drive way. Im not 100% sure wehre it is leaking, because i can't see anythign from the front of the head. It is not smoking white at all, but i haven't checkd my radiator cap or valve cover to see if coolant is in there. What other things could this be?


Time for rebuild?

Drain the oil and post what you find in the oil.

ok hers the deal

I dont think its coolant mixed wiht oil anymore

NO missing oil
NO missing coolant
NO white smoke
IDLES fine
no coolant or any leaks visible from under the car, BESIDES a Clutch line (brake fluid)


therefore my conclusion as of YET, is that the brake fluid was dropping onto the asphalt of my driveway, and mixing with dried coolant from a previous problem (brothers car draining ALL coolant onto the ground) and just sprayed off with water


I HOPE FOR THE BEST!
