oh...and the oil looks ok.

hey, thanks for all the tips... however the PCV filter seems cleaner (and dryer) than the amount of oil that's pooling up...the biggy is that there is a thick lubricating type of GREASE in the air compartment. A few months ago the radiator started leaking, but only when the fan comes on. I have just been replacing the coolant as it gets low. But in the last week or so, it has been leaking somewhere else, even when the car isn't running. I havn't tried cleaning out any hoses, and I still haven't replaced all of the older clamps... But what could be the reason for grease in the air cleaner, and the hard starts? At another forum, someone was saying that the "thick chocolate milk stuff" on the inside of the oil cap is a gasget thing...it's that stuff, but in the air cleaner.

hey all, I recently have been having increasing cooling problems, and harder starts. I just checked the air filter last week before taking it in for the emissions test (passed!) and it was clean. I checked it today and there is some sort of grease in the air cleaner compartment and alot more oil than usual. Is this a head gasget problem or what? thanks for any help or leads!
