I think my head gasket just went

[gstowner]

I was driving it this morning went to park it all the sudden smoke started pouring out. Got out popped the hood and I heard it sizzling and antifreeze dripping behing the turbo. Im sure that's what it is. Im sick. Does anyone know how many hours that job is? Like how many a shop charges for?

Maybe just the turbo's coolant supply/return line broke?

I would check for compression before you go ahead and do a headgasket.

i agreee with redrain..check compression...also check to see if you have oil in your coolent and vice versa...and if the car is drivable..look for white smoke out the tail pipe

Good news! I took the head shield off this morning and jacked it up to see where it was coming from. Not the head gasket. It is coming from the turbo-manifold area. Im thinking its just a heater hose. It was scheduled to have the ac worked on tomorow and my mechanic said he'd look at it. I started thinking about it and I was thinking it wasn't the head gasket more and more until I found out. Cuz it never got hot. Then I checked the oil and it was fine. Not milky at all. I was so relieved.
