Okay, I'm not sure, but I think I have a head gasket problem. I backed the truck in the garage a week ago to repair the starter contacts and found a little puddle of coolant on the floor the following day. I couldn't find any leaks. It was dripping from the back of the engine on the drivers side. It doesn't appear to be coming from any of the hoses (3.0L). I gunked everything down and drove it around for a few miles. Drives and runs great. Everything was dry last night when I went to bed. The truck sat all day today and now I have what looks like a little green dot of coolant hanging off the engine (drivers side rear where the head meets the block). Is it possible that the gasket is leaking coolant and not getting into the oil or cycliner? I don't suppose I can just tighten the head bolt a little and stop the leak, too easy, right?

Is it time to pull the heads? I had the recall done at 48k and I now have 143k on it.......I'm out of luck, right?

Thanks for your help..........

I've done engine swaps before and heads, but only on chevy's. What am I in for? If I pull the heads, should I have them resurfaced? Valves done? All advice is welcome......
