ok so i came home from down town tonight and when i pulled in my temp gauge said normal but there was a stream of coolant running down the driveway and a trail of coolant drops on the road. well i opened the over flow cap and seen a little bit of brown foam on top of the coolant not much like a spot about the size of a half dollar. car idles fine doesn’t smoke when driving or idling and seems to run allright. now my question is could it be the head gaskets cracked head/block or could it possibly be my intake manifold gaskets since i do know that they are leaking oil on the front and rear of the manifold or could it just be that there was some shit in the bottom of the overflow. now i have had some over heating issues before but i was figuring that it might be because my carb is a piece of shit and running lean/rich and that it is the factory belt drive fan which is also shit oh and it’s on my mustang. any help would be greatly appreciated ---
