Rookie
I have discoved that I'm loosing engine coolant with no visible sign of leaking. I noticed a sticky, greenish sludge in the top of my oil cap. The enigne starts and runs fine, no overheating and no smoke in the tail pipe. I'm assuming I have a head gasket problem but not sure if there could be another explainantion?

MasterIf your engine has an oil cooler, that can cause the same problem, best to have this checked for a leaking head gasket though.
