D24t blown Head Gasket
Looks as if I have been filling expansion tank with oil, but runs the same as always only reason I thought to check the coolant is because the temp gauge seemed to be sitting a tiny bit higher than normal, should I pressurize the coolant system to check and how? Should I a compression test and how? (can I rent a diesel compression tester?) Also what else should I replace and or adjust at the same time I do the head gasket besides the timing belt, I am planning on driving cross country with the car and want to be confident,
any help is much appreciated

Make absolutely sure its the head gasket. The oil in the coolant could also be there because of the oil to coolant heat exchanger. they fail and you'll get oil in the coolant too. And having oil in the coolant will make it run a bit hotter aswell. Ebay has worked pretty well for me with getting the necessary tools to make working on these engines easier. I hope I was helpful to you.

Normally I would go figure out where the exchanger is and see if it is leaking but I am limited on time, where is it located? also I found this http://www.zdmak.com/wbstore/main.as...CTMP=1&LowCt=0 seems to be a good deal, the help is appreciated

The oil filter screws onto it. Its the box between the filter and block.

I started investigating and first thing I did was drain the coolant. It looked as clean as when I poured it in, since the oil is less dense than the coolant it would make sense that the oil would go to the top of the fluid in the system located in the expansion tank. So it may just have a small leak? somewhere? I haven't yet removed the heat exchanger, but its next on my to do list. That's how limited my time is I can get one thing done everyday before work, all the help is much appreciated
