Coolant leaking out of the front side of the left head. Looks like it may be a cracked head. Once the head is replaced, is it possible that the rings may be shot due to running it with a cracked head ? i.e. the compression has probably been down on at least one cylinder for a while. Once the new heads are installed, and the compression is back up, I'm wondering if there will be "blow by" in the cylinder(s). Any ideas/thoughts ? The car has 132,000 miles and I'm wondering if it's worth fixing. Everything else seems fine, and the car has been running fine too - even with a cracked head ! Your comments/opinions are welcome !
