Gentlemen, This is the first auto for me that blew a gasket. When our '94 SAAB 9000 appeared to be loosing coolant (antifreeze) earlier this year I put in Barr's Stop Leak. It helped to reduce the coolant loss. Now, there is a lot of oily foam floating on the coolant in the expansion tank, it couldn't be Barr's Stop Leak, could it? I fear that it could be a leaking head gasket causing oil in the coolant? Could the water pump be the cause? When I replaced a short hose in the cooling system there was the same oily residue in the hose. Barr's Stop Leak? Should I do a valve job, if I have to replace the head gasket? Peter SAAB 9000 CSE
