Ummm...well that be it then. I still don't think a blown head gasket would cause oil to blow out everywhere.

That is probably the notorious water pump gaskets. Do a search on it, it's a common problem you will see posted here. Hope its not your head gasket.

Now I'm lost, I'm getting my compression test done Monday. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought if I had a blown head gasket or f$%d piston, wouldn't it be smoking from the tailpipe? By know means do I know what I'm talking about, only what you nice folks have taught me.

Check the compression....I am sure that I had both a blown head gasket and cracked ringlands.

look at post 28....
