Dang! You guys are great. This gives me some extra test to confirm the gasket before I start ripping the head off.
The car did have some condensation coming out at startup yesterday(had my wife start it while I was at the back), but it was also very cold, humid, and raining out. I stuck my nose in it and it smelled like exhaust, but no antifreeze. It was hard to conclude anything. I will try it again today (its dry out today) after my obligatory HF trip.
On other news, there is a used 2020 volvo V90 for sale locally and the salesman wants the "end of the month" sale. There's a part of me that wants to let my current car die, but the new one is just one big silly computer screen of gimicks to break with a poor little super/turbocharged 2 liter engine.
Will "it" make it to 300k? I don't know. My current car is one head gasket from making it!
Thanks again. R
