Ok THis sucks. Car is running like @ss. Im loosing antifreeze and when i put more in and let the car run i see oil in the antifreeze. Exaust smoke is kinda white and smells sweet. Does this mean that its just the head gasket gone bad or can it be more severe? A head gasket is what around 250-300 bucks? How should i start by going about to solve this? Either way its gonna be expensive right? The gasket is probably RTVed on so im thinking even if i pull my head off by doing so would make the gasket gone bad so I couldnt really tell if that was it. I think it would be a waste of time if I replaced the gasket and throw everything back together just to see if the problem was fixed, because if its still screwed then i gotta tear everything apart again. Should I just think about getting a d16z6 motor(should be cheap right?) Or would I only need a new block or head. What should I do because I dont have alot of money saved up right now. In the condition that I'm describing my motor is in is it gonna blow soon? I need help thanks.
