Been noticing coolant disappearing and I tracked it down today. When I get on it my inlet heater core hose blows coolant out where it meets the heater core. I haven't readjusted it yet but I'm curious if this is a sign of a bad head gasket? My coolant is also a suspicious color, but I can't tell if it's rust or oil. My oil level hasn't dropped and my oil looks clean. I plan on compression testing and checking the coolant pressure Monday. Just wanted some opinions.

Well if you dont have coolant in your oil then i say no to the head gasket flush your coolant system probably hasnt been done and fix the hose to the heater core its either the hose or the heater core thats busted

Yup I'm in the process of flushing it again, I already flushed it at the beginning of the month but it was so bad that now I have to again. But I think you're right, doesn't appear to be a gasket leak thankfully.
