Engine Cooling problem
1997 Ford Windstar 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

The problem was caused from a weird coolant problem. One day I heard a bubbling noise coming from the radiator after driving it. I opened the radiator reserve cover to find that the coolant looked rusted, it was full but it was a dark orangeish color. When later driven in attempt to move it the head gasket blew. I was trying to fix it up just well enough in hopes to sell it, and have the next possible future owner see about the head gasket. So I was wondering what could I possible do to start fixing the problems?

thank you

Hi there,

There are no 1/2 measures you either fix it or leave it for the new owner to repair, don't get involved in patch ups, sell it a reduced rate and leave it at that.
