So i went to the local oil change place this morning before work to get it done real quick, and when they took off the coolant cap to check levels, it was BROWN, and THICK, they said it looked like someone poured oil in, instead of coolant..
I have only had this car for a few weeks... Car runs fine, no white smoke, heat is fine. The guys at the oil place looked too, and said it seems fine.
SO.....
They said could just been dirty, original coolant from 1994, someone poured oil in it, etc...
I looked at it, it was thick and syrupy and smelled like oil.
We did a flush, new coolant in looks fine now...
Any ideas BESIDES a headgasket, as the car does run ok, and no tell tale signs of it... Could it really be the original coolant from 94?
PS.. The oil coming out was fine, old and dark, but fine
