Default Re: Leaking head gasket

Something doesn't sound right.If a new head gasket was put on years ago,and not run,or not run much,to have it start leaking after just a short time isn't right.It shouldn't be leaking and need a retorque so soon,unless something else is wrong.They could have used a used gasket,damaged it,something might be in there,it may have a crack.Also,to have a leak on that side is not that common so I would be looking around first to find a problem.The water pump can leak and the water run down,hit the seam at the head gasket,and then follow the gasket back and drip off at the rear.
