I don't know man. Just had a diesel mechanic look at it when I recently had help putting on my resealed injection pump.

Well that makes me feel a bit better knowing other people are driving around with leaking head gaskets. It doesn't appear that my oil and antifreeze are mixing together. The biggest problem right now is that when I took a 20 minute drive on the interstate yesterday, my antifreeze was at the max mark...

Since I'm extremely frugal, I spoke with a diesel mechanic who agreed to put the new seals on for me with no labor charges if I could get the pump off myself then time it and put it back on. I purchased a Haynes Repair Manua...
