Best Answer

Usually they will leak.

This is hard to change, costly at garage.

I did my own, took eight hours total time, most under the car.

Be careful to be sure the timing chain is reinstalled correctly or it will make a lot of noise. I had to pull the chain cover off a second time and re-install the chain and tensioner.

Good luck!

You may have a bad head gasket and it may be leaking from that. Why when cold i dont know, but if you are losing coolant it may be the head gasket.
