    Generally a head gasket going shows up on a compression check, any good mechanic should have checked your cylinder compression... That one almost worries me a bit that they didn't... But anyways that is a good thing to look at, if you are burning it internally, that would cause it to disapear. Another thing you might want to check just incase they didn't, take a look around the heater core and see if its leaking at all. Beyond those, its leaking outside the car and you just gotta find it.

        An update, the problem was found.
        The upper and lower Intake Manifold Gaskets were crappy.

              I only have one cord that connects to:
              1) block heater,
              2) interior warmer

              In the past I have had up to 3, the third one for the battery blanket!

              I remember being in the states on holiday and the old man left the cord hanging out. Many people thought we had an electric car!!

              Sorry getting off track here.

              you crazy canadians... you guys like hockey way too much to have to actually warm up your car. especially an f-body. if you gotta warm it up, how the hell do you people get through the snow thats gotta be 10 feet high like in michigan's upper penninsula?

              oh btw, i think hockey is greatest gift to man tho. i just wouldnt sacrifice the time and PITA for it.
