Has anybody had problems with leakage around the top sided of the head gaskets on a shark? My overflow bottle loses about 1/2 its capacity over about 5000 miles due to these small leaks. I have some K&W block seal that I may try, but am reluctant to put it in for fear of clogging up the radiator. I know a mechanic who used some alum-a-seal in a shark with this problem and got good results. These leaks could be a result of the fact that my car is turbocharged, but I have heard of problems with the early cars. Head gaskets are a bear to do on a shark, and trust me they are even worse with twin turbochargers. The car runs fine, and there is no white smoke (i.e. coolant into the exhaust) Any suggestions?

If your plumbing is still stock, the chances are better that the leak is from a small hose rather than from a head gasket.
