A friend of mine has a 98 5.0 with 130,000 . He says there is antifreeze spraying out somewhere on the passenger side front of the engine. He checked hoses.
He thinks head gasket.
My questions are how common is it for a 5.0 head gasket to blow antifreeze out in this location?
Is the 98 Merc. 5.0 a GT-40 type engine?
I have read about intake and timing cover problems also.Any input on common problems and experiences would be appreciated.
I will be looking at it soon . It hasnt ran in a few moths so it may or may not be worth making him a offer.
