That's an amazing head gasket leak. Epic. I had one like that in the back of the engine once. I thought it might just go away. Sadly it did not.

You can do the head gaskets. If you need any quick answers I've done it a few times. Lots of great advice here but every time I needed it in a pinch, it was the weekend and everyone was working on their own rovers instead of watching the forums. Just PM if you need a number.

Wow, you're very generous to your Rover with that p/s fluid. I've never used anything but the finest walmart or autozone house brand in my Rovers over the years.

That's like $190 is PS fluid. Yikes.
Stick with the CHF 11-S. Not the 202.

Any chance you mistakenly inserted one of the "longer" threaded bolts (maybe, the A/C compressor bolts) into the wrong hole and cracked the head while torquing down the bolt?

Those I got from Autozone. They told me it for Landrover. Any recommendations or alternative fluid from autozone? Thanks

Thanks, At first I thought that the bolt went too far inside when the leak started. As I remember, there are no bolts connected to the other side of the gap. Though I love these trucks, I getting disappointed with all the problems Im having recently with both of my discos at the moment. they are leaking everywhere. This will be the 2nd time Im replacing the head gasket on this one.

Charlie, I'll keep you in mind. I just ordered the gaskets last weekend. Thank you in advance.
