It is definitely leaking out of the head. I originally though it was leaking antifreeze but that turned out to be a weeping regulator on the water pump.

I just started the engine tonight and put a little mystery oil along the head gasket and voila...bubbles. in a few spots. I think it is leaking compression through here.

I am bringing it back to the shop on Thursday or Friday. He guaranteed he would fix it and make it run right even if they have to take the head off and redo the gasket and then they will make all the fine adjustments for me.

I am keeping my fingers crossed it will only be the shop 1 or 2 days.

If it can be built ... It can be fixed.
