Hey guys.
The other day my friends were having a look at my engine and checked out my radiator and coolant and said that there was oil in my coolant. The coolant is a light brown. I'm not positive they knew what they were talking about but they said my head gasket was going. My car has never overheated and I do have smoke coming out of my exhaust sometimes. Not like thick thick smoke, very light smoke like a cigarette for like 10-30 seconds at the minimum. I could get some pictures of the coolant inside my reservoir, but not so much for the rad.
I used some lucas engine stop leak, because personally i think it's a valve seal. because the smoke is kind of whitish blue, just did this yesterday. I was thinking of draining the coolant and starting it fresh. Would that help if lucas has stopped the leak? I need this car to last another year at the minimum. I can't afford another car and this is my daily driver.
