Is there a non-coolant stop leak you might recommend for a head gasket? Otherwise, per my response to Ed, I'll just keep an eye on the current level of seepage. No coolant loss, though I did just have to replace the throttle body heater, and no noticeable oil loss, just wetness at the gasket.

Thanks,
Dave

nothing will stop it. you can check the bolts see if they worked loose but other than that you will need to replace the gasket. i had mine fail horribly on my way home from the city lost power cel came on and the gasket was shot just pumpin coolant into the oil.. nothing u can do at that point but tow it.

Well, good thing I have the AAA 100 mile tow coverage, though will probably opt for taking the wife's Pilot to the mountains.

Thanks, Ed.
