I think I may need a new head gasket but I'm not all that sure
My oil level has been dropping steadily forsome time but I still have over half reading on the dip, last oil/filter change was june last year and have done roughly 17k from then till now. My coolant level has also been dropping away at a steady rate, but the temperature reading on the dash has never went over the half way point, even in this heat we're getting recently. Yesterday I had the car running stationary and held my palm over the exhaust tip and when I took my hand away there were drops of water on my palm Is this a bad sign? Like coolant leaking through the head gasket? The car isn't burning oil though, the exhaust isn't blowing blue smoke and the coolant doesn't have oil mixed in with it
Anyone able to determine what's causing the loss in oil/coolant? All help is appreciated. Cheers!
