It hasn't happened yet... the mechanic who mentioned it said something like "You'll need to get the head gasket done by next rego" (July 06). He also said that the gasket was leaking at the air end rather than the water end? WTF does that mean (if anything)? Please translate into redhead speak :P
I am losing a bit of water but not sure where... thinking it's either the heater core or the gas system... or maybe the head after all.
I just don't want it to break down, I want to prevent this from becoming a major problem and have to replace the engine (been there, done that).
