1990 lx convertible with the 5.0
Was driving then it overheated so i pulled over. Pop the hood and find coolant everywhere. I wait for it to cool down and find oil in the coolant. I let it cool down more and attempt to drive it home. A mile later there is a rattle that sound like a loose exhaust. Get a little further and experience an extreme loss of power then it dies, pop the hood again and find more coolant as well as smoke coming from down near the headers. This all happened the same day I replace the radiator.
How screwed are we? My thoughts are a piston went bad the same time we blew a head gasket. Any thoughts?
