Default Headgasket?

Today I ended up with a small stick threw my radiator, drained it completely, so I plugged it, and refilled it. When I looked @ the inside of the radiator and on the cap, I noticed some greasey, dark green/ grey (color blind so hard to explain >&lt. This is oil blowing past the head gasket right? I havent noticed any power loss yet. So I wasnt sure.


Thanks
-Cody

pop your oil fill cap and see if what color the oil is, or how it looks like. If it looks milky, HG is gone.

Color is hard for me to tell.. close shades blend together making one color, etc red / oj hard to distinguish. Anyways, Ill look for the "milkyness" In the Am

Any other thoughts?

have a friend or someone else try and look in there for you. It should look really cloudy, it would not look as dark as motor oil.
