[QUOTE]Originally posted by fredfifty: [QB] I now have a light brownish creamy milkshake-ish liquid flowing/dripping/spitting out the driver side exhaust tail pipe, along with smoke (not steam) because it doesnt smell like coolant, more like normal exhaust smoke and its white. Now, I did find out i have liquid (brown oily type which im assuming is oil/water) running down from the area of the number 8 cylinder onto my mid-pipe in and around the O2 sensor and it continues running on the under side of my mid-pipe which causes smoke when i run my car (due to the heat). I also noticed, when i got up under the car that the exhaust hanger was transplanted to another part of the mid-pipe, so the original hanger was die grinded off and and now there is an open slice in the mid-pipe where exhaust gases escape...and apparently oil or an oily substance as well, so it drips there too (is there supposed to be oil there? im thinking no) Back to the leak around the number 8 cylinder area. The wet spots ive noticed are above the area where the head meets the block. The area/parts that are wet is the head bolt by the number 8 cylinder closest to the firewall, the header bolt at the number 8 closest to the firewall as well, and the area on the head near the same header bolt. is it possible for a HG leak to run UP in those areas i mentioned? The valve cover gasket looks to be leak free in that area, i checked thoroughly. I also checked for any "runs" and couldnt find any other locations on the engine. I checked the coolant in the radiator and it is normal, coolant rez is almost empty but the bottom of it had green coolant still, no brown stuff. I pulled the dipstick, oil is normal color and at fill level, pulled number 8 spark plug and other than a little wet with fuel, it looks okay to me. When i have time, i am going to do a coolant exhaust gas test (?) or maybe a compression test on the number 8 cylinder. in the meantime, do you all think i have a BHG based on what ive told you? Sure hope not, but im thinking i do. [/QB][/QUOTE]
