Huskie claims his broken SVX has no head gasket leak as well!! Hard to face the possibility for some... It is becoming so prevalent that it is scary. It is almost as though it is more of a time thing than a mileage thing. The fact that it could happen to one of my lo-mileage cars is especially frightening. That is serious money for the repair.
