Ok, its pretty cold -10F or so, started the truck (98 12V) to warm it up, high idleing it at ~1400 rpm. After it was running awhile I noticed a small coolant leak under the engine and what looks like coolant in the exhaust out the tail pipe. SO is this a blown head gasket? cracked head?

Sure would be nice if I could open the hood to take a look but the #%E#^ is froze shut.

 

Yup yup. Blown or cracked. More than likely it's cracked but you might luck out

When you get the hood up take the radiator cap off and see if you have pressure coming thru the coolant. Either way it doesn't sound good. Hope it is something simple though. Good Luck.

 

I have to say a head gasket issue.

 

I say you just move already

 

head gasket or oil cooler. my guess

 

Doc cant do that he is the Governor of CAN_A_DA

Doc do as advised and pull the rad cap look for pressure there

would be nice ifin its just a head gasket though

 

Rumor has it he's been looking at a Toyota 4runner......he might have to dust off his "I think I am turning Japanese" cassette......

 

I think I may know this guy.
