oh its

not the worst thing that can happen, but you need to pull the dipstick and see if its leaking into the motor as well. you will be able to tell it will have bubbles in the oil, if not there are stop leaks of some kinds that can help and maybe you wont have to pull the head off!!

I'd fix the head gasket instead of using any sort of stop leak stuff.

I wouldn't chance a cracked head if it was me..

yes definatly

a gasket is alot cheaper than a head

Pull the oil filler cap off, and if there is water...(will look like a brown gooey mess with water droplets on it) then chances are your head gasket is blown...


Not to add more on, but while the head is off, make sure you don't have a cracked head as well....

Had a Chevy 350 that always cracked heads, till I found out there was an obstruction in the radiator..

Good luck...

Could also be a bad water pump.....depending on the location...

sigh, I dont know....Im nervous though.
I hope its less then 500$ whatever it may be

I don't think the gaskets themselves are expensive. But I do know labor can run ya a pretty penny. It's not a complicated job (I've change heads.. and head gaskets in several cars) but it is a long process in most cases.

 

[Tungwagger]

no water in the oil..............just seepage from under a head.

If it is just a head gasket, probably no more than $200... if it gets into the $500 for a head gasket, then you are being taken for a ride..

if its a toyota it most likely could have an alluminum head if so when they take it off be sure and have it checked to make sure its not warped!!

Hope it won't be too expensive to fix.

 

[LordMagicMan]

Good luck, whatever the problem may be!

Sure that green liquid didn't come from between your legs?

My car blew a head gasket this summer. It's not the worst thing that can happen (though being trapped at my mom's for a week wasn't all that fun).

Heads rarely crack anymore (according to my mechanic), they warp instead. If yours is warped, see if it can be sent to a machine shop and fixed instead of replaced.
