Hey I was wondering. Are these cars known or have a bad name for Headgaskets? I found a small trace of oil in my coolant however my coolant is still green. Im not sure if I have a headgasket problem or not. Im still getting lots of heat. Thanks.

There are issues with head bolt threads, and resulting internal leaks. The oil in your cooling system could be from a leaking trans oil cooler as well, it is in the radiator. Most often, the sign of a head gasket leak is overheating with possible coolant loss. It has to be leaking in a specific area to get the oil into the system, by the oil gallery that feeds the cylinder heads. Have the system tested for combustion gases in the cooling system.
