1) Gunk on the hoses near the oil canister
2) That visible gasket looks wet
3) Gunk on the side of the canister
Could this be a headgasket? I have had no problems with temp, or coolant loss; I did not notice any white smoke. At any rate, I'm planning on taking it to the shop tomorrow. The car has 156k on it right now. If it's the headgasket, what else should I have done?
Thanks, Dave
