Typical problem with these cars. Usually only a head gasket unless it has been overheated. Mine is using more coolant than I would like, and I have oil in the coolant tank, too. No trouble, even on my trip to Florida, but I still believe I have a head gasket in my near future!

The original head was trouble. The re-design replacement is much better, but not cheap.
