Hey guys. I just got the bird on the road for the spring. Took it out for a short drive and smelled antifreeze. Yikes.There was antifreeeze gushing out of the Heater valve on the manifold. There was no pressure in the rad hose and the rad was cold. Does this sound like a stuck thermostat? There was some leaking from underneath the car. Did I blow something else as well? I check transmission fluid to see if there was any antifreeze in the trans fluid. That was OK.I checked Engine Oil level on the dipstick and it is clean as a whistle and the exact level. There is no smell of antifreeze on the dipstick. Further investigation shows a yellow mustard substance in the down draft tube and a trace of antifreeze or condensation inside the valve covers. The valve train was clean as a whistle.There was no sludge on any of the valve stems or springs. Perhaps a blown head gasket?

Are we talking engine overhaul?





Thanks
