ok, i had to cut my own gaskets for my external wastegate and downpipe. but i started my car up today after cutting my gaskets and drove it down the road. i waited for it to warm up before i got on it, i didn't have boost up on it before cause my other gaskets where burnt up. but after turning the boost up i drive around for awhile and then park it start it up later that evening and noticed that oil was coming out from around the gaskets that i put in. shut it off and immediately checked the oil and the coolant, no oil in the coolant and not coolant in the oil. checked my spark plugs and on my #1 cyl. the spark plug was wet with a wite foamy film, i know that it was exactly what oil looks like after it gets wet. so i'm thinking that it's my headgasket or maybe cracked head, but it's not over heating, so that's got me alittle confused. i thought that if it was either one it would over heat wouldn't it? but i did make the mistake of reusing my old headgasket (mitsu metal). oh yeah and i did check the coolant and oil levels and they both where low and it's not leaking. i'm really thinking that it's my headgasket, but would like some imput please. thanks

:talon:
 
thanks candela, i went ahead and picked up a hg today. i started it up again and it had white smoke coming out of the exhaust, and it smelled like coolant. i guess it's time to do it again
