So... I've recently had my heat exchangers replaced becaue my old ones were old and leaky. But, it's still loud! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Head Gasket leak!
So, since I need to use this car as a daily driver, I have to know. Is is safe to drive around with a head gasket leak? it seems to run fine, it just sounds like a lawnmower. |
