Oil out the exhaust kinda panicked Think i may have cooked the head gasket. If so whole cars for sale 700 bucks. I dont know yet Oil looks a little green cant tell though. My friend says it may be Piston ring blow by. Any opinions

Ill check tommarow during the day. Merry X-mas guys thank you. What a wonderful way to celebrate X-mas. With a blown Head gasket possibly. I checked the oil it looked a little green and my coolant lights on so i believe i popped the head gasket. If it is how much would it cost to replace. If i cant replace it the car will be for sale.

I was thinking the turbo has 144k on without a rebuild what if the seals went because that would explain the oil blowing out of the exhaust and possibly the coolent in the oil because the coolant resivoir still contains about 1/2 the coolant. I don't know i need some input.

Ok, first off you need to use fucking commas and periods in you grammar. I have no clue what the hell you're thinking when it's one big, run-on sentence.

Now...

Is there oil in the coolant? Yes or no?
Is there coolant in the oil? Yes or no?
Is there white smoke coming out of the exhaust? Yes or no?
Is there blue smoke coming out of the exhaust? Yes or no?

If the answers to the above questions are no, then you probably have a bad turbo. I'm sure you can sure the forum for similar symptoms in other posts.

Good luck.

you should see what the floor behind where I park my car looks like. I have a nice little oil spatter every time I start the car. Mine is not the head gasket

I think this car smoked a pack/day for all of its life and is just spitting up a bit...

It has been smoking white for some time. The oil out of the exhaust just happened recently. I gotta run a compression check
