This started happening on my 90' gl a couple of weeks ago.
Unfortunately, yesterday, it started losing a LOT of coolant while
driving - to the extent that the warning light would come on every 10
miles or so after starting with a full overflow tank.  My passenger side
head gasket is being worked on as we speak.  Hope you have better luck.

Subject: leaky heads

Hello all,
        I just found a little puddle under my engine and it turns out it
is from the passenger side head.  I was wondering how long I can put off
fixing this, and what the risk is (besides the obvious running out of
coolant.)  If I understand right, the gaskets in the head only keep the
coolant in the head. Also can anyone recommend which heads to get and
from whom.

Thanks,
Patrick
