I just bought my dsm like 2 weeks ago. I decided to change the oil since i don't know when it was last done. I got under the car and there is oil every where and it is fresh. I then drained the oil and it is green tinted. I had my dsm at mitsu for an unrelated problem earlier today. The tech told me that alot of the head gaskets leak at certain points. The car has 136k on it (yeah i know thats alot). I believe that the head gasket has never been changed. The antifreeze was not overly dark when i drained that, to change it. It was darker then new antifreeze though. The only thing i can think is that there is a leak somewhere in the head gasket between the water jacket and some oil hole. My question is does this make sense or could it be some kind of other problem, that is common to dsms, that i do not know about? Any help is apprecited. I am absolutely in love with the car and want nothing more then to get it running at peak performance.
