ok so i went to drive around in the snow this afternoon, was running some high rpm' and what not like we all love doing in the snow. Car died, started ok and drove bout 7 miles, get to my friends house, and there is oil in my coolant...........did i blow a head gasket? if so, anyone have some advice on changing that? i know it's much to large of a job for me to take on myself, but is there good cheap shops in the portland area? 1997 subaru legacy outback limited, 2.5 motor dualcam thanks guys-David

There's gotta be some good shops in portland. Hopefully someone will chime in.

 

What I'd do is have the coolant sniffed for hydrocarbons just to verify it is a headgasket.

This is one place where you want to avoid the word "cheap" .

 

Have the radito sniffed, and keep an eye on the temperiture gauge. my concern is why did the car stall?
