ok, this is'nt on a contour but at least I own a contour! I've been having a loss of power and have done numerous things to try to fix such as an all new ignition system. Anyway, I just checked the coolant and IT LOOKS LIKE DIAHREA! I know it has oil in it but the oil has no coolant in it at least that I can tell. There is also no white smoke in the exhaust. So my question is... can the head gasket be blown, leaking oil into the coolant and making a loss of power, but not be leaking coolant into the oil or combustion chamber? it still runs but I don't want to make it worse. I've ordered a new head gasket set and I've been meaning to replace the valve stem seals anyway. But I'm worried that it could actually be a cracked head or something. any help would great I really appreciate it!!!!
