Head Gasket ??

Has anyone had there DRIVER side head gasket leak ? I have already had my passinger side done. Now i'm getting that burnt oil smell from the drivers side.

usually when/if the driver side gasket leaks, it is on the opposite end of the engine (front versus rear for passenger side). if this side leaks it is covered by the timing cover, so you don't get an external leak.

later,
chris

Thank's Chris .... i guess i'll crawl under there and give it the old flashlight treatment. And see if anything is leaking some where else, it has 40,000 mi on it now, and still runs great.
