Hi Everyone,
Our city recently underwent some weird subzero weather. I was not prepared and probably had 20/80 mixture of antifreeze...barely any antifreeze. My 99 GT's hoses, radiator, everything got frozen. When it thawed (apparently), I turned it on, and everything was ok for about a minute, then out of nowhere, it started 'spitting' an oil and water mixture from the air filter on the passenger's side wheel (see attached image). I turned it off and saw that the coolant tank was filled with a chocolate-milk-type liquid and took out the oil dipstick and it was full there too. I've had a couple of mechanics look at it (not really worked on it, just look) and they say contradicting things. Some say it's definitely the head gasket, others say it definitely CAN'T be the gasket, that it must be the block that's cracked. Others say it needs an overhaul, and yet others say I need a new engine. Has anyone seen this? It drops quarts of 'chocolate milk' from the air filter.
Thanks!
