head gasket?

[jas98]

hi. vs commodorw v6. has had inlet gasket changed in oast and has 189 000 on it.

been loosei ng coolant every week. around 1-2 liters. dropped coolant other day and was almost a complet brown colour. so flushed it out etc. refilled and bleed. took for a drive and came back....checked next day and down 1 liter in radiator only.

and while i filled it i noticed a **** load of bubbled comming out of radiator even though i blead it through the bleeder screw like i always have.

car is not over heating....has lost oil though and can see some water from exhaust but has been cold here lately.

sound like head gasket even though oil is clean and radiator does not pressureise?

sounds like LIM gaskets, was everthing cleaned properly and assembled correctly? Is the trans oil ok? stock trans cooler in the rad can split doing the same.

by any chance have you had the cooling system pressure tested?
local mech did mine the other day and it ended up having 7 different leaking spots. was all from hoses not being tight enough.

been chasing a rogue water using problem myself lately so am interested to see what solves it for you.
no water dropping on ground and am down to the final few things. (next up being the inlet mani)
