For the last 3 months I've been expecting this daily driver to croak, but it keeps on running min. 10 mi/day. It leaks about a cylinder's worth of coolant overnight which I replace often, other than topping the oil regularly it's seemingly unaffected by the obvious comingling of crankcase and radiator fluids. Within the next month or two, local temps will surpass 100F. on a regular basis. Will this likely spell death to this sturdy little motor? What can I do to prolong its tenuous lifespan? How can it still function w/o the classic whitesmoke out the tailpipe and seized bearings? There is substantial grayish goop in the radiator that matches the color of the dipstick's sample, so I assume the head integrity's compromised...
