Hrm...

Coolant's at/above max. Can't say for sure how much above since the car is sitting on our driveway right now but I'll check that later and get back to ya..

Valve gasket or whatnot: Hrmm.. I'm not even sure what's with that one, but I do know the mechanic was thinking it was a gasket, yep when he pulled 2 of the 4 sparkplugs they were dripping with oil..

Wouldn't be surprised if the CEL was coming on over misfires, but that doesn't flash, it just comes on for about a minute or two and goes off.. yeah I suppose a misfire, I'll see about getting the code

When the cooling system was flushed they wanted to "pressurize" it and that required a new cap for the coolant container since the old one was leaky, had that taken care of and from what I remember there wasn't any problem there..

Sounds like this could get ugly.
