The cars been sitting in the driveway for about 3 days now. Today i went out there and poped the hood just for fun (i'm waiting for parts from BMA). The seam where the head meets the block, on both heads, is wet. the whole seam, end to end is moist. in some places the liquid is such that it ran down the side of the head and made a very tiny pool in the valley area. great. theres so little of it, and so much grease/grim, that i can't tell if its actually blue-coolant colored.. but its not like any other watery substance would be leaking out.
Hmm.
my coolant level, since i've had the car, seemed to drop on its own veryyyy (extremely) slowly without any visible leaks, but one day i saw blue-green crust around the water pump and figured that had been the leak, even though i never saw liquid coolant. Guess i was wrong.
How hard is chaning out the gaskets? you just.. do something with the camshafts/timing/etc to lock and disassemble them, and then unbolt the heads and pull them off, right? (ha!)
