No way, the head gasket shouldn't be leaking anything.

:wstupid: you shouldn't have any leaks....especially not from the head gasket

no little leaks are bad. those little leaks become big leaks. no engine should ever leak anything

dont you guys know its good to leak a little bit of fluids. If you want to stop the leaks drain the fluids and run the car dry, there leak problem solved and plus its good for your motor.

You need 2 leave Billy-Bobs garage alone man. They probably never resurfaced your head which is VERY important in a rebuild or head-gasket replacement if you want it done right. I used 2 be a tech at a Honda dealership and thats what we had 2 do every time. :nono:
