Thank you for the quick and highly informative reply Anders. You've given me a glimmer of hope that perhaps all is not lost with the head gasket. I will certanly take your advice and have the oil dye added and see what develops, and post a follow up report here for the board's Search archives.
For my own information, two questions:
1. if head gasket replacement is the eventual course of repair, would the new gasket have to be of the current fiber type, or would a metal gasket be available and appropriate?
2. what would be a ballpark estimate for a V6 head gasket replacement?
Thanks again for your insight.
