And yet, nobody cares...

Anyway, you may wanna give that sealer shit you throw in the radiator a shot. If its only a small leak, it should hold you over till spring/summer when you can rebuild it or whatever you wanna do. I definatly wouldn't rely on it for a permanant fix.

If its leaking out of his exhaust, that sounds pretty bad and I don't think the sealer crap will work for this kinda situation. But it doesn't hurt to try! thumb up

Does your car smoke alot too?

Do you still have the stock kade in it? if so its not so hard to replace the head gasket which will be why its coming out the exhaust because the water jakets in ur cylinder are leaking in. But yea the exhaust manifold is really easy to get off then u only have to take the top front engine cover off and the intake manifold can stay on when u pull the head off. Just disconnect the fuel lines, unplug the wiring harness and drain ur radiator, disconnect the heater hoses and upper rad hose and its ready to come off. obviously the timing chain valve cover and head studs must come off as well.

Not really. Its just BHG, shouldn't take more than 12pack to fix (unless you want to)

"Drive till it blows" isn't exactly something I would recommend either. Its not like its a spun bearing and/or rod knock.
