if you can get 6 more miatas, they can Voltron into a different mazda. miatas are magical. :lol man, it sucks though. do you have to change the headgasket now or what? ---

well I’ve got a second miata, so I’m driving that one for the winter (mine’s in better shape, don’t wanna put another winter on it) . I’m going to garage the one that is leaking for the winter and then do the headgasket on it later. ---

I’m going to garage the one that is leaking for the winter and then do the headgasket on it later. has it been leaking into the motor or just squirting it outside? ---

Should be a relatively easy job though, that’s good news. Did it just piss coolant or now your oil has that milky color? Edit: If it’s not mixed check all your hoses for cracks. ---

I haven’t checked the oil yet, just parked the car. I checked the hoses but I can actually see coolant leaking out the block where the head meets the block ☹ ---
