runs perfect and only misses at idle when warm.. dosnt fit with head gasket problems.. normally the miss should be worse when cold.. expansion caused by heat etc usually stops the miss at idle.. plus if its leaking at the low cylinder pressures at idle it should leak worse under load..
oil down 1/8..?? u measure it that accurately..???
brown gunge in the expansion tank.. that one does sound like oil in the coolant.. it must only be a small amount collected at the top of the tank thow.. else it wouldnt circulate properly.. ie.. your car would run hot..
can u drive it for a week.. yep.. not for long trips thow and keep a close watch on the temp guage..
the miss at idle could be anything.. the brown gunge in the coolant isnt right thow.. it would pay to change it and see if it comes back.. if there is no danger of freezing ordinary water wont do any harm for short periods..
