    LAME! i dont think its a blown headgasket since the car runs good and isnt putting out any smoke. the oil came out the color it should. Im bummed on the cooling system. Like i said, the AC wont turn on....so once we figure that out, looks like im going to have to get a new AC. :(

    as in, it was just risidual stuff and eventually ended up leaking wherever the car was? they replaced the valve gasket, which i thought should have covered the same spot where that hole is, but i suppose not. my timing belt is getting shiny (as i believe they said) and its getting to need...
