Hi, my first post here. I got a 95 Montero SR and noticed I have a nice coolant/oil mixture leaking out of the right bank. Assuming the head gasket crapped out.. Anyone know if there are any good resources for repairing this online, or a ball park figure of how much it would be to just have a mechanic do the work? Is this a common thing to happen on the car.. it''s pretty low milage for the age, only 99,000 on the odo! Thanks..

Haynes or Chiltons manual.

FTI, 99k isn''t low miles.

For a 13 year old car? I''d say that''s low milage.. 7600 miles per year average

i find it unlikely that the gasket is leaking, being as they never fail.
if they are, you probably have some severe head warpage and/or damage present.

I don''t really know what else it could be.. there is a constant leak (even when the car is sitting in the driveway-which i find odd) but it is an oil/coolant mixture, which is coming down the right side of the block. It appears to be coming out below the exaust manifolds as well, but i cant get in there far enough to see exactly. Any other ideas? The final drops come down the oil pan and drop off the bolts to the oil pan. But like I said its coming from higher up in the engine...

Remove the oil cap, do you have any white goop under it?

Welp, had it looked at. Wasn''t oil and coolant afterall Just coolant. Realized the water pump wasn''t replaced with the timing belt at 60000, and it looks like it took a ****! I guess the reason I thought it was oil there too was it was probably leaking with the residue on the engine.. Thanks for the ideas though!
