Hello all

I have some bad news abuot my car. The check engine light came on about 3
days ago and I had no symptoms, the Car drove and rode fine. Nothing changed

Now the engine is over heating and the anti-freeze looks like chocolate
milk. THats a really bad sign. Someone told me the Block might have cracked,
but the engine never got above normal driving temps. ANother person said it
might be just a Head Gasket. whats does anyone out there think. I have a gut
feeling it isnt good.

Thanks

You should not start the engine again until it is repaired.  Coolant in
your engine oil will cause major damage.  The damage might be done
already.  You likely have a bad head gasket, particularly if your engine
is the 3.8.

The Duratec or  the Vulcan. I hope the Vulcan. They are much cheaper to fix.
Plus, I have a Duratec in my car.

I believe that's been proofed by the redundant educational school of
redundancy.
