At the time I only had AAA basic towing so I got a 7 mile allowance towards 30 mile tow. That'll teach ya'. Turned out the indie had to pull the engine to replace the timing cover gasket as well as the head gasket. Sorry to be David Downer but you might want to diagnose further. Do you know if your VIN has the bad head bolts? Mine did so I replaced the bolts (I found three loose ones) but it did not help as the head gasket was too far gone. You can also search the boards for timing cover gasket: I think there are some posts about cleaning the whole area with brake parts cleaner and then watching for the point(s) of the oil leak.
