HEad gasket is not too costly to fix. I had it done on my old gmc and it was not bad
Cr0ck1, you better say your prayers. Sounds to me like the intake manifold gasket is goin. Crappy part of it is that it's made of plastic, and usually fails from the inside first, so if you don't notice anything except low antifreeze levels, it may have failed on the outer seal first. If you can smell it, it could be a small leak that only shows up when the engine is warmed up, and then it evaporates not showing a leak or anything. i chased one on my first F150 until we figured out where it was coming from. Been lucky on my F250 though. 52K in 4 years, and no major issues except bad hubs in the front twice. Too bad they don't make aftermarket ones.
this is what happens.. ti leaks when you first start up the car (out of the exhaust) then when it warms up you dont see it. Im thinking that when the car is hot the water just evaporates in the exhaust thats why i dont see it when the car is hot.
I used some stuff called Thermagasket on my old Mazda when it blew the head gasket. Stuff worked great. I had water in the oil and coming out the exhaust. Put in the Thermagasket, sealed it right up.

yea they got stuff like that at autozone.. I had sent my brother to get some oil leak stuff for the oil and he got some gasket sealer that goes in the RADIATOR not the engin.. Long story short the engin is seized.. When you look down the oil fill hole and see how that stuff turns into rock solid sludge you would not want to put that stuff even in your radiator...
I realy want a permanent fix not something that might mess up the engine or radiator..
