Had to put coolant in my son's Tauras again within 2 days. No drips under the car. Exhaust looked a liitle steamy this morning. Do you think it's the head gasket. Todd, up for a road trip??
Head gasket?

If the exhaust is still steaming after a full operating temp. Very likely...

Check to make sure it's not a cracked head as I believe they were known for that. I had one on my V6 Ranger and it acted just like that.

do you have a coolant system pressure tester ?????
They are not hard to do, just time consuming.,...
If you yank the heads I would send them out to be tested for cracks......... If it needs new ones, some times it is cheaper to replace the motor with a rebuilt one....
My Blazer was $1200 - $1500 to do the heads......
It was $2,100 to install a rebuilt motor...

Thanks for the advice. Just got home from being out all day. My nephew's shop is going to look at it in the morning.
