I CHECKED THE COOLANT EXPANSION TANK AND FOUND IT NOT TO BE PRESSURIZED. MY OIL DIP STICK SHOWED THE OIL TO BE VERY CLEAR CONSIDERING I JUST REPLACED THE TURBOCHARGER. I CALLED MY MECHANIC TODAY ALSO AND TOLD HIM WHAT WAS GOING ON. HE SAID IT IS NORMAL CONDENSATION AND LEAKAGE UNTIL THE TURBO EXPANDS ENOUGH TO SEAT PROPERLY. HE MIGHT BE RIGHT OR WRONG CONSIDERING HE WILL MAKE MORE ON THE NEXT REPAIR. HOW ELSE CAN I CHECK FOR HEAD GASKET FAILURE. I HAVE NO OIL LEAKS OTHER THEN THE STANDARD POWER STEERING DRIP PROBLEM. I HAD THE HOSES TIGHTENED UP SO IT IS NOT AS BAD AS IT WAS. I PULLED THE PLUGS OUT AND CHECKED THEM SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN IN FOR 3 YEARS. THEY WHERE A LITTLE SHOT. THEY WHERE BROWN IN COLOR AND GETTING A LITTLE BAD. I REPLACED THE PLUGS AND WIRES AND IT SURE LAUNCHES NOW.
