Ok this is starting to worry me! On the way home today my car popped a check oil light. Its only been like 1500-2000 miles since my last change. During my last change my leaky oil pressure sending unit was replaced also. I have yet to make sure the new one isn't leaking but i will soon. Also i can top off my coolant and it'll be down to like half radiator in a few days. I cant find any leaks, i dont know if it only leaks when i'm driving down the highway or what but i have not found a coolant leak or an oil leak yet (i look under it after its been parked and started it and looked around). My passenger side carpet isn't wet, car doesn't smell like syrup. So does this sound like its probably a head gasket? When i ran my compression test cylinders 6 an 7 were lower than the rest, but very close to each other. I thought maybe it was because by that time the motor had cooled and messed the test up but maybe the gasket is torn? I dont smell any burning and it doesn't smoke at all. Anyone know what might be going on? I'm going to try to have my coolant system pressurized soon to see if i can find the coolant leak. I have NO idea about the oil leak. I know these cars go through oil when they start putting miles on, but man...its only been 1500-2000 miles. I was talking to my mechanic today and he said its probably just engine wear (dealing with the oil). He said he would disassemble my motor for 150 and a place in the lower part of the state would bore it to 306 and clean it etc for like 80-100 and he would reassemble it for 150 (i would get a rebuild kit to be put in). This seems like a great deal but i really hope its just the gasket or something. Anyways any help appreciated. Thanks,
