I think I have a blown head gasket...traces of coolant in the oil. No other symptoms, unless excessive/crazy pinging on a warm engine under load is one of them. I guess I have coolant loss, but very very slow. I should say the car was purchased without an overflow bottle and bad ECT, so I know she ran HOT for a while...What other damage might there be? Valves? Rings? Pistons?
I should say it is a stock 95 GT, 85K miles. Also, code scanner came back with cyl balance test with no errors, it passed.
