Blown head gasket...now what?

[2nd Scout]

Well, I have an update. Maybe this info will help someone else. I bought one of those Harbor Freight radiator pressure testers. Pressured up to 10psi and a little stream of coolant started squirting out of the front of my radiator, right where the fins connect to the side tank. I guess it didn't leak unless it was pretty hot, so no puddles when idling hot or parked. I am assuming this means my head gasket is okay after all. So, it might be worth a try if you have the same symptoms (losing coolant).

Good for you. Glad it's not an engine problem.

Thanks. I'm very happy about that. I put some black pepper in the radiator and the leak appears to have stopped. I thought I would try that before buying a new radiator. I didn't expect it to work. Will be keeping a close eye on the coolant for a while.
