I had a head gasket leak in a GM 4.3 six cylinder in the early nineties. I had to completely rebuild the engine.
Sorry to hear that what a nightmare. Yeah at this point my stomach is in a knot wondering what it is, hard to believe at 55k it’s a head gasket but I’m leaning towards tranny oil, it’s hard to tell but I’m not losing oil, and I’m not losing coolent, I’m not over heating there’s no milky substance in oil. I guess at this point I’m going to try and do a flush again as pizza suggests and go from there, not getting my hopes up because if I remember this was already done last year, say it is an internal leak somewhere in the tranny cooler I just replace the whole radiator?
