possible head gasket oil leak

[tamim13]

Don't worry too much about the temperature gauge going up to 3/4 on an off. It will come down when the fans kick in right? It doesn't stay that way all the time. This seems to be an issue in a lot of the 4cyl 8gs. There's a thread which has discussed this by it self, and I've changed everything (thermostat, radiator fan, both sensors, relay, etc - except the PCM).

Over 100K miles with this issue, and still running. I've replaced my head gasket also, and this problem still persists, so I doubt your head gasket issue is related. Did you check for the oil leak from timing belt perspective? Could it be the leaking from the timing cover? You can take it off and check.

cool thank you im planing on changing the thermostat and valve cover (gasket) out when it warms up. I have not removed the timing belt cover how hard is it to remove with out messing up the timing.

the reason I ask all this is because this car http://s53.photobucket.com/user/Just...brary/my%20car was a rental and had 2 previous owners and an accident on the passenger side (new fender and door) and has one key for the door and one for the ignition (no key fob when I bought it I added it ) and has the signs like it was stolen at one time so who knows what was done and what may have happened to this poor car (now its in great care)
