I Believe I have found the problem with my car. Had to crawl under to get a picture.

The test I did with the engine testing device said that it was “cylinder three misfire.” I looked at cylinder three, and found this gap on the underside. There should be a piece of a gasket there, I think.

I also smelled exhaust coming from the engine in park with the hood up, as if it was leaking out of the engine. This was while the car was on. I was outside, don’t worry. Followed all safety precautions.

I don’t think this car is repairable. Even I can’t do a job like this gasket.

It is expensive to work with a blown head gasket. It usually requires a machine shop to mill the head smooth which is pricey.

Pardon me for sounding cheesy, but its a Christmas miracle.

Before doing all the tests, the check engine light was on. Not flashing. After all the tests, my father drove my car for a test drive.

He said, “It turned off mid drive.”

This car, a 1995 Subaru, is on it’s last leg, but I consider this a Christmas miracle.

It still has some life, but from the look of the gaskets, maybe not much.

Call it what you want, but I call it a miracle.

I hope it keeps working for you!

My Boss had a Saturn the kept running for a long time with a head gasket leak. I had a ford Taurus that made it for about 6 months with one.
 
Poor Mother, blissfully unaware of what’s coming to her.
So how did you feel when she dropped the Ace King flush on your Ace Queen flush? ;)

Fresh out of the oven!
DD1 made a giant chocolate chip cookie in a pizza pan.

Hope it will get a few more months but it does seem to be telling you to start looking for a replacement. :(
