After I changed my oil the other day, I noticed that there was a little neon green in the dirty oil. I also had to top off the coolant (1/2 quart). My Trac is a 2002 with 117k on it. Am I correct in thinking this is probably a bad head gasket? Can it be anything else?
The Trac runs fine, but I have noticed that my mileage isn't as good as it used to be. I'm getting about 15-16 when I usually average 17-18. I just thought it was a cold weather.
If I have to bring it in for a head gasket, are there other parts I should ask the garage to premptively replace since the truck is getting up there in age since it will be apart? (water pump, etc.)
Thanks for any advice!
