yickes i didnt know it created an acid.. i'll get it cleaned out soon. thanks guys!

some people on this site are just mean,, and un-helpful..however i really do appreciate all the help and concern from those of you who care! i will be geting alot of cheap oil and clean it out as best i can, see if the green returns. i sure hope not. :)

ok.. so as soon as i get the pump.. im going to replace that and the pump gasket,, im going to drain oil, fill with oil, idle car for a while, drain oil, re fill with oil then drive it and see if coolant comes back in the oil under the oil cap...and go from there

well i know its really stupid to do it,, i really dont think i did, just a possibility,, of course i'd rather it be that then a BHG :)

true.. and it looks pretty darn green to me..

ok.. well im sure the shop would do that if i gave them a metal head gasket.. any body have an idea how much a shop will charge for a repalced HG? the shop im giong to is like $40 an hour,, no idea how long it would take.

is it possible that its not like totaly blown.. maybe just a small leak in the HG? and its geting ready to blow? and could the bad water pump/leaking pump have anything to do with some coolant geting in the oil?

thanks jeff :) so what else should i do,, my car isnt over heating,, theres a small amount of coolant in the valve covers.. nothing in the rad, but fresh looking coolant.. i havent lost hardly any coolant from the rad level or reserve. and the water pump is leaking.. so that would account for...

i know a guy, owns a little shop out in the woods,, very nice guy, very good prices,, he worked on my celica serveral times,, he specializes in imports.. i know he knows toyotas to.. so im going to call him first see what he says.

ok.. first thing.. im not even 100% sure i have a BHG. to be honest i really dont have any idea.. everyone on here says BHG,, but no one has seen my car.. so i dont know.... also worried if a shop gets in there they wont get shit put back together right.. or in some cases maybe better.. like my...

so im going to be replaceing the BHG,.. what metal head gasket do i need? i know arp studs

well i was talking to my dad,, and we are just going to call around and find a shop that will do the HG, metal gasket with arp's.. if there arent any.. well then i have to get to work.. with not a clue what to do..

actualy the coolant and oil bottle i have are the exact same size..but ones grey ones white.. and i work on the car late at night, not good lighting..i guess i can pull the vavle covers off and see how bad it really is,, there doesnt seem to be much coolant at all in there..

lol.. i guess only one way to find out... drain all oil.. put fresh in,, see if coolant comes back?? sound reasonable? or is there somthing else i should do?

this might sound extremely dumb.. but i think theres a slight chance i might have put coolant into the oil on accident...not likely but now that i think about it i'v been having oil leaks and coolant leaks at the same time and have kept both oil and coolant bottles in the car.. i might have...

theres not very much coolant in the vavle covers.... looks like its time to take the car to the shop :( BHG is beyond my repair skills...

i checked the oil in the oil pan and its fine, theres no coolant in it...no signs of coolant mix with the oil "chocolate milk" ... the gasket on the water pump is bad, its not leaking out the seep holes...the car drives fine, no loss of power..

ok also,, its not leaking out the seep hole in the pump.. its coming out of the pump gasket..

ok.. i just poped off the rad cap.. theres NO oil in the rad.... what can i do to be 100% sure its a BHG and not somthing else?? take it to a shop and compression test?
