NO NO, That would be a intake gasket leaking, not a head gasket.
You also should check where the heater hose hooks up on the intake, it may be leaking.
There is a heater hose that goes to the left rear top side of the intake manifold and that fitting leaks engine coolant sometimes and it will run down the back of the intake around the distributor. If that fitting is not leaking then the intake manifold gasket is leaking coolant in the corners of it. REplace the intake gasket. That's all that can leak coolant on that year engine. If coolant is leaking out between the transmission and engine block then you have a freeze plug leaking in the back of the engine, between the transmission and block. Must remove the transmission and flywheel to fix it.
Not necessarily, unless you think they are leaking.
If the valve cover gaskets are leaking, yes.
bad engine seal timing chain cover Valve covers Bad oil filter gasket Bad oil sending unit Head gasket bad engine seal timing chain cover Valve covers Bad oil filter gasket Bad oil sending unit Head gasket
Hey Bon==No, the bubles can be from a leaking head gasket. Have someone with a tester to check the radiator for gasses. goodluckJoe
It is there to stop the fluids and compression from leaking out.
You need to check the transmission gasket between the transmission pan and the body. If it's leaking you have to replace it.
Water in oil is usually caused by a leaking headgasket. This is the gasket between the engine block and the head. It is an expensive repair.
If it is leaking from a bad head gasket, it is because of a bad head gasket. If it is leaking from a bad intake manifold gasket, it is because of a bad intake manifold gasket.
If the valve cover is leaking it may let oil flow down the head and make the Head gasket appear to be leaking. Clean the engine and then use oil dye or watch for leaks. If there is a coolant leak it is not the valve cover.
The head gasket sits between the head and the engine block if it is leaking out where you can see the coolant, yes you can smell the coolant if it is leaking into the engine no you cannot smell the coolant. You can check the oil to see if it has coolant in the oil if it does then the head gasket might be blown.
I would check the Flange gasket. It is the gasket that sits between your exaust manifold and your exaust pipes
