I am not using my firebird over the winter. So every couple of weeks I am starting it up and runing it for a few minutes.
Today I started it, the oil light didnt go out, so I switched it off.
I ran it for about 10 second and in that time it dumped th oil out all over the drive and pressure built up in the cooling system and that was leaking too.
It looks like the oil is coming from the head gasket one side.
Is this probable ? or is there a common failure point I should be looking for ? Its a 73 350 pontiac block.
The only thing I can think of is that it has no antifreeze in and froze ? I didnt get round to that yet. We only had a couple of nights of approx -2 centigrade then it warmed up again.
Where should I look `1st. Any advice muchly appreciated.
