What is going on with these MB head gaskets. My bypass hose burst last night when I got home...no big deal I thought, I'll just get new hoses today, some coolant, and fix it.
Well, there was a lot of oil in the coolant when I removed the lower radiator hose. I've never had to add oil to between oil changes since new, and sure enough, it is about 3/4 quart low on oil.
The car just turned to 88,000 miles and runs great, but no sense installing $140 in new hoses on the car if they are going to get saturated with oil. So I guess I'll start removing the head on Monday and see if the head gasket is blown, or the head is messed up or warped.
