replace asap. The cost of a new gasket is less then a new engine. (coolent if leaking into the engine rots seals and causes major damage). A few hundred or a few thousand your call.

How much bars leak head gasket and cooling sealant should you pour in a 1992 Lexus es300?

NONE!! These type products are emergency repairs and will not permanently fix a blown head gasket or cooling system leak. In fact they can cause problems later on. Do not use these type products at all. Have the problem repaired correctly with a permanent fix.

That is a common problem with the Vortec engines, First place the gasket is not made of much as you can see. Antifreeze eats the gasket up over time. The ORANGE antifreeze is BAD. If the Intake was OVER TORQUED that will cause it to leak/ Go bad too.


How much to fix an oil leak on a 2001 jeep grand Cherokee?

An oil leak problem probably is the sign of a problem in your oil pressure or it could simply be a slow leak. The problem can cost anywhere from $100.00 to $400.00 for an oil pressure problem.


How can you tell if it is a bad thermostat or a head gasket?

Check for water in your oil, if so, this is a sign of bad head gasket. White smoke from the exhaust and loss of coolant with no apparent leak are all signs of a blown head gasket. You can also remove the thermostat (it is much cheaper to replace and easier to troubleshoot as well). If the temperature of the vehicle lowers, your thermostat was the problem.


Toyota camery 1993 3.0 on water pump can the screw leak behind thermostat?

I'm not sure what "screw" you are referring to,but any gasket joint can leak at the mating surfaces and/or past the fastener threads. If you are replacing the thermostat, you might want to use the OEM gasket. Probably a neoprene gasket. I have never had the OEM gasket to fail. You have to watch how much you tighten these fasteners. They don't require very much torque.

Why is there oil in your 1998 Saturn sc2 spark plug bay?

Probably a leak in the valve cover gasket around the spark plug. If it isn't building up a lot of oil, it probably isn't much of a problem. Once the oil pools up to the gasket, it stops building up.It's more of an annoyance than anything, and if you want, you can pull the valve cover and replace the gasket.


1998 mercury mystique and oil and antifreeze is leaking in the same spot what is the problem here?

My first thought was that you may have a head gasket problem. To verify before spending much money, have a compression & leak down test performed on each cylinder. Each should read 90 to 110.
