  • Dying festiva please help!

    I have a 91 ford festiva with 196000 miles on it. It has been leaking oil and since i go to a automotive school i was able to put a dye in the oil hat shows up lime green under a black light. The oil is coming out between the head and the block. It also seems to be using coolant. I got home and did a compression check when i got home and here are the results, cyl1 168psi cyl2 160psi cyl3 110psi cyl4 150psi. The normal in hayes is 204psi and min is 149psi. The spark plugs are also white not tan like they should be. i was just wondering if you think that it is a head gasket and if it would be easier to just b6 it.

    Sounds like a blown head gasket.

    A B6 is definately a good idea at this point.
