Soooo, i went outside about 5 minutes early before departing to work to warm up my car. Started her up, and walked back inside to finish my breakfast, i happened to take a slightly longer breakfast then normal, and when i went back outside i saw this:

Super lame. I let her cool down (which didn't take long with the hood open and it being 5 degrees outside), and then limped her the 1.2 miles to work. Looks like the coolant froze, i had JUST put the on the list of things to do, oil change. When i got off work, i tenatively i walked to the auto parts store nearby and bought new fluid to refill what had burned off. Filled her up, and started her with the cap open.

Looks like she blew her head gasket. Antifreeze is pretty milky. bummer! Now the question is, how far do i want to take this?

New head gasket?

Rebuild?

rebuild + build it?

or

Time for a 3sgte swap?


First step, drain and refill oil and antifreeze to make sure it's not just water or some other contaminant.
