Well, Ifelt so devastating with this LEAK, that when I went to check the LEAK guess what...It is LEAK by the HEAD GASKET ahhhhh!!!!!! I just dont know what to do now.. (any sugestion are welcome)!!!! after three day or research I found that kind of LEAK is very comun on this RR and I think it has solution but the main question is !! HOW BAD IS IT . may I run the car with this leak or not. and the most important how can I fix it.

Hi there,
Is the leak external, if so is it in the valley between the cylinder heads around the inlet manifold.
Or-is it internal and getting into the sump and mixing with the oil. Worse still, is it getting into one or more of the cylinders and blowing out the exhaust like a steam train?
What engine does your Rangie have?[8D]

 

Thaks for answer, I did not see any steam!!!! but I´m quite shure it is leaking to outsside by the head gasket!!
Thanks

 

First thing don't drive it.
If you want to do a few checks on it this weekend, send me your tele number and a good time for me to call you.

At the shop they test the car at least two days before they called me. it has no signs of leaking andoverheating ´till now but I will be more relax after this week. they performed a leak treatment with Car-Go Seal Up!!!!! Will see... and if something goes wrong I will tell you. I have to tell you the leak was little it was not big. So I will write next week to confirm a sucsesfull stop leak!!! I HOPE!!!!
Thanks Disco-Mike
