If you keep driving it in that condition... Posted by turrbo [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Is my 97 900 SE Turbo in the throes of death?!, Kev in Dallas, Thu, 7 Dec 2006 14:46:57 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
You're going to ruin the engine soon. Your oil is being contaminated, and if you keep losing coolant, you're bound to overheat. I suggest either trying to tackle the headgasket yourself, or stop driving the car so you don't do further damage until you can work up some money to have it fixed. You don't want to have to pay for a new engine, which could be more expensive than just a HG.
Also, you *could* try Bars Leaks, which some people seem to love. I am never a proponent of the leak stop stuff because it can clog other parts of your cooling system, but where you're desperate, it can't really hurt to try it. It comes in a silver bottle. Add some of that stuff, change the oil (!), and hope for the best.
