Just to add some fuel to the fire, here are my reasons why i think i need the head gasket to be replaced.

1. Brown coolant
2. I have to add 20oz of water to my reservoir every month
3. when sitting at a light, and i look out the window, i can see white smoke passing by my window (when the wind is right).

I could have completely misdiagnosed this, but does anyone have any input?
