hi all
just got myself a 600fj i have a problem with it that i think maybe the head gasket. what appears to be coolant drips from exhaust joint when running and get some smoke but this stops after a short time. i have not noticed a sweet smell but only had it for 2 days. am i correct in my assumptions? if i am is it easy to replace gasket.

thanks

 

What color is the smoke and what color is the fluid dripping from the exhaust? The drips may just be from condensation building up in the pipe if it looks like water.. if it's coolant colored that is not a good sign. The smoke color (white, blue, black) will help determine what the cause is. White smoke is caused from coolant leaking into the combustion chambers.
