Ok. this is whats going on. i noticed where the head sits on the block where the gasket is, standing infront of the car on the left of the header (the corner of the head) its a bit wet. but i also have a coolent leak in the back of the engine. havnt had time to check it out. it did start over heating a bit yesterday. I took off the rad cap and the coolent was a little low, lucklyi carry a jug of coolent in my hatch. so i toped it up while it was off, started it then it was fine. since then the temp gauge has been at normal temp. I heard when you have a blown headgasket you lose heat to your car. my car is kinda like that. when i start it up in the morning some days I start it up and jump in the shower and when i come out (after about 15 mins) the car is warm inside. but the last week it doesnt warm up till i start driving (even after 15 mins of being started up). but today it was warm when i got in. could this be because of a hose leak in the back or is it just the headgasket that causes that?
I was already gonna do a headgasket in about a week so its no biggy.
the engine still has good power. it does not burn oil OR smoke.
