OT: kinda, daily driver has some thing wrong :(
OK 
Our 1988' ford festiva (carbureted), has a problem. I went to add some oil today (oil light came on) and i notices a some thing foamy inside the oil cap and saw green water dots resting inside the valve cover. So i think Aw **** the head gasket went.(hopefully) My father and I took the head off (haha 1 and a half hour job) and the gasket was just fine. Drained the oil, and there was no water in it and there was only about a quart or less of oil that came out (holds 3 quarts). Now i'm confused cause there was no oil in the radiator fluid and no water in the oil. But under the vale cover there was all this white/green/crap color foam sticking to it. Any One got a idea of WTF is going on????
-Thanks, Ian
