ok everyone heres my problem. i am going to do a head gasket change this week because i am losing antifreeze. no leaks... i checked about a dozen different times. now i am not losing a lot at a time just a little. when i say allitl i mean around 16 oz at a time. what i mean is when i start my car in the morning it runs rough for about 10 min, after it gets warm it runs fine , no hit you in the face smell of antifreze in the exauhst just a faint smell. no antifreze in the oil. no film or smell of antifreze on the insides of the valve covers. the car dosent overheat at all the car usualy stays at the middle line before this problem now it goes between the halfway and 3/4 point on the guage. now if it is a cracked head wouldnt i be losing more than the amount i am losing ? wouldnt the car just overheat, and wouldnt the exauhst reak of antifreze? thanks for any help

 

I have a similar problem in my olds. I have a slight leak in my passenger gasket, and occassionally it will leak enough to make the car stumble the next day until it's "burned off" the excess on the plug and near. Other times, just a faint smell.

Oh, sometimes the cylinder it's leaking near throws a misfire cylinder code, until the stumble and "burn off" occurs, and then she's fine.
