If the engine is overheating rapidly and/or blowing oil then it could be.

Why would antifreeze be leaking from right side of Montana van?
intake manifold gasket is leaking. They are famous for it around 80000 miles
How many miles should you be able to drive before needing to replace a head gasket seal?
A head gasket does not wear out and there is no specific reason for replacing one unless it fails. Usually, head gasket failure is related to engine overheating that causes the heads to warp. Thank you, but it's not the head gasket that has broken. I had the seal replaced last year because it was cracked/leaking and leaking oil. And now the garage says it needs replacing again. Should it been leaking again so soon (after 13,000 miles)?
If a 2001 Chevy Prizm is leaking oil and empties in about 3000 miles what could be leaking?
its the PCV valve
Why would transmission pan leak on 1999 Plymouth grand voyager?
Could be age or damage. It could be the gasket (a cheap repair if you can do it yourself) or maybe the pan itself is damaged somehow (such as hitting a large hole in the road or driving over something , like a curb). A leaking gasket on an loder vehicle, especially with a lot of miles is very common.
2000 dodge caravan 3.6l transmission fluid leaking?
you probably have a gasket leak. or worst possiblility is a crack pan. In either case take it in and have the tranny looked at. When was the last time you had you transmission oil changed? Did it start after it was changed? Possibly if you haven't had it changed in 50,000 miles take it in and they can change the fluid and usually replace the gasket. This may stop it from leaking.
You have 2000 Nissan Quest I have a small amt of coolant leaking Nissan said it is my cylinder head gasket I have 54000 miles Should this be happening i am not overheating or pushing any smoke?
It may be that someone before may have ran it hot and had it repaired but a lot of times after the repair it needs to re-torqued.If this does not happen then it could be leaking like you say it is .... GOOD LUCK
How many miles before you blow a head gasket?
As long as everything stays in good shape. a car could go a million miles or many more. On the low end it could go at 10000 miles or less.
What could a smell of antifreeze outside of your car be if you do not see a leak. Just had blower motor replaced only 5000 miles?
Could be head gasket!
Is it normal for a head gasket on a dodge Dakota 3.9 v6 to leak after 70000 miles?
not normal but head gaskets can go bad anytime. Sure it's the head gasket? White smoke out the tail pipe, coolant goes low( but not leaking on ground) & compression low in one or 2 cyl.
1973 Pontiac Lemans 350 2 barrel 3 speed manual w27000 miles and you have noticed little oil spots could it be major?
AnswerNot likely with only 27k. Probably valve cover gaskets leaking if the leak is under the engine. Transmission pan gasket if under the tranny. Could also be the filter or the drain plug leaking. When installing the filter, be sure and oil the gasket, make sure the old gasket came off, and tighten 3/4 turn after the filter contacts the mounting surface. Also check the drain plug gasket. If the leak is there then just replace the gasket and tighten to 20 lb/ft torque. No more, no less, or you may cause a leak. Remember on a car that is driven rarely, it is a good idea to change the oil/filter every 6 months, even if the car is rarely driven and has few miles since the last change.Pontiacs are also notorious for leaking at the rear main seal, especially after a rebuild. Although I'm assuming this one has not been tore down. With as few miles as this car has, it has probably sat for long periods of time allowing the seal to dry out. The hardest thing in the world on a car is to sit for long periods of time. But I agree that it is probably not a major or serious problem.
What does it mean when white smoke comes out of a 94 Plymouth Voyager?
Blown head gasket is the likely culprit. It could be a blown head gasket, but if the engine isn't sputtering or running rough, that is unlikely. It could be a leaking head gasket, but unless it is vomitting water when the accerator is depressed, this is unlikely. The most likely cause is a common one for that year and model Chrysler/Plymouth minivan. The lifters in the engine are held up by clips. It is a common occurrance for these clips to loosen and drop after about 70,000 miles. The exhaust will smoke, it may use a little more oil, but it is not a critical problem. It can be fixed, but it is expensive, and not altogether necessary.
Why would a 1996 Ponitac Sunfire 22 engine have no compression?
well maybe you blew the timing belt or the piston or bent the valves Could be you have a badly cracked head or a failed head gasket that is leaking. Or if the car has a zillion miles on her, the pistion rings could be shot. Yeah, you don't really care why; fact is you're looking for a new engine anyway, sorry to say Phil
