Jim,

The car is a 1990 190e 2.6 with 276,000KM (convert to miles) on it.

The fan clutch looks like the picture attached, I'm not sure whether to call it electric or hydraulic.( i just got this pic of ebay, but it looks identical to it)

As far as losing coolant, I am not too sure. Should I be expecting a drastic drain in my coolant right after engine overheating? Well all the times my car has over heated I have never seen the coolant light come on, and when the car cools down the coolant level in the expansion tank seems to be the same as it was before.

A head gasket replacement seems like quite an expensive project...
