DO you need a head gasket if oil is leaking into your water reserve?

90% sure of it. There is a known circumstance I read about once that could result in oil getting into the engine coolant... Had to be one of the Windstar forums or here at WikiAnswers, since the early 3.8l Windstar engines were so prone to head gasket leaks...
In the meantime and back to the more common causes... It could be either a bad gasket or a warped head. Either way, the gasket is going to be replaced.
