on my engine block there is alot of oil , so i cleaned it up with some brake parts cleaner. then i noticed coolant leaking right under the distributor and a small line of oil too. right now i just checked and i have oil in the coolant reservoir. a couple of months ago i had some exhaust valves replaced with new gaskets put on and everything. im thinking the headgasket is bad, you can sort of see some oil right next to the gasket. any ideas? how much does it cost for a headgasket to get replaced? how much for the gasket itself? its a b16 motor.

 

OEM head gaskets are around $65 just to give you a rough idea....To me it sounds like whoever put your head back on didnt do it correctly.

 

its not overheating or anything either btw. how much does it cost to have a new head gasket installed? is it only the headgasket? or can it be something far more serious? i didnt have this problem before, but when the headgasket was replaced was when 2 exhaust valves got bent. what could this be?
