I went to my indie today for an oil change, the first since purchasing my car. Before I purchased, I had the indie look at it and give it his blessing; he did say at the time that the head gasket was seeping, but nothing major to be concerned with. Today the tech (not the same tech who initially inspected it) said I would want to get the head gasket done fairly soon, over the next few thousand miles. He said it was seeping, the same verbage the previous tech used. How do I know when? I don't want it to blow and do more damage, but I don't want to spend $1600 (the estimate) on something I might not need for a long time. He also said I needed a new oil sensor switch which was a priority ($20 for the part, $100 for labor). He said my oil was a little low, so I would need to check the oil frequently. I also just lost the clock portion of my SID, so that was estimated at $400 for replacement/programming. I see several people on this board have used BBA in MA for rebuilds with satisfaction, so I may give them a try, $70 vs. $400 is pretty signifigant.
Any thoughts ont he head gasket?
