Youcan buy at most parts houses, a kit that contains chemicals that change color when compression is getting into the water...worth a try.Forrest LovleyJordan MN________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 3 Jun 2006 16:52:43 -0700

How does your water (coolant) look? Any foam or "frothy" apperance? The oil?...is the oil/water level increasing/decreasing...looking "brown"...discolored in anyway?A compression check on all four is simple enough to do and may reveal a problem, whatever it is. (head gasket)...But...start with the simple stuff first. All hose clamps tight? A visual inspection could reveal a gasket leaking...split tube (common in copper).Go over everything with a BRIGHT light and a good mag glass for those tight areas. Look for trouble and you'll probably find it.Hope this helpsDave...Down in Florida ----- Original Message -----
