Hey y'all,
I don't have all of the details yet, but I dropped my Explorer 1995 XLT 6 cylinder off to have the AC compressor replaced. Lately I've noticed that my coolant reservoir has been getting lower and lower (faster than normal evaporation).
Anywho, the dealer rep just called and said the mechanic told him that there is coolant leaking out of the top of the engine around the cylinders. He said it's not imperitive to fix right away, as long as I keep the coolant full to the fill level.
He's going to call back with an estimate, but before he does, I was hoping to get some idea as to what's involved in replacing the gasket, typical cost for a gasket at the parts store, and if you need any expensive *special* tools to do this job myself.
Thanks,
Mike
