What type of problems occur to your car when your head gasket needs to be replaced?

A white, frothy substance appears in the oil, or on the dipstick. This is water, which has leaked through the headgasket from a water channel into an oil channel. When the reverse happens, the coolant becomes very oily. Coolant can also leak into a cylinder, causing clouds of steam to come out the tail pipe. Loss of compression on a cylinder which has a leak in the head gasket is common. The spark plug on that cylinder may foul repeatedly.

What consequences can occur when dynasties fail to meet the basic needs for their people?
They eventually get overthrown or replaced.
Should a horse's horseshoe be replaced in a year?
Yes! A horse needs new shoes every 2 months or a foot problem is sure to occur.
Why does oil go into the radiator of a Ford Focus?
It sounds like you may have a blown head gasket. It needs to be checked out pretty quick because severe engine damage can occur if left unattended.

What needs to worked on or changed when the coolant is leaking into the oil?
You have either a blown head gasket or a cracked head. Serious engine dame will occur if this is not repaired. Do not drive the vehicle in until it is repaired. If you have an oil cooler line in the radiator, it could be the radiator. Otherwise, it's probably a head gasket.
Major ozone problems occur where?
Major ozone problems occur in stratosphere. It is where the ozone is located.
My mother-in-law is 89 and needs a blood transfusion. Her blood count is a 6.7. She is on hospice and has a dnr. Is this the point where she will start having problems?
This is a point where continual decline will occur. But, it is not necessarily where problems will now begin.
If head gasket is broken between oil and antifreeze passages what are the problems usually encountered?
Gasket problems Occasionally, the compression in the cylinder will cause a leak to form in the gasket and the gasket will have to be replaced, or severe damage can take place (a "blown" head gasket). This problem has been exacerbated by the use of aluminum rather than iron cylinder heads; while lighter than iron, aluminum has a much greater thermal expansion rate, which in turn causes a great deal more stress to be placed on the head gasket. Engine makers have responded to this by adding a non-stick coating such as Teflon to the surface of the head gasket. If the gasket fails, a variety of problems can occur, from compression loss (leading to power reduction, or a rough engine), to exhaust gases being forced into the cooling system, leading to the engine overheating and increased engine wear due to the motor oil being mixed with antifreeze. Coolant can leak into the cylinders, causing the exhaust to issue steam[3] and the catalytic converter to be damaged. If a very large amount of coolant does this, hydrolock can occur, causing extensive engine damage. Sometimes, all that may happen when a head gasket is blown is excessive steam erupting from the tailpipe; yet the engine may act and drive like normal. A damaged head gasket can cause compression to leak between cylinders. Head gasket condition can be investigated by checking the compression pressure with a pressure gauge, or better, a leak-down test, and/or noting any indication of combustion gasses in the cooling system on a water-cooled engine. Oil mixed with coolant and excessive coolant loss with no apparent cause, or presence of carbon monoxide or hydrocarbon gases in the expansion tank of the cooling system can also be signs of head gasket problems. Driving with a blown head gasket (if possible) can cause additional extensive damage due to overheating or loss of lubrication. Blue exhaust smoke may be indicative of oil-burning.
