Help Needed - Possible Head Gasket Failure
Hey guys, car is a 97 WRX - Standard that i know of, anyway these are the faults on the car
"losing a lot of coolant, especially on a long drive, lost power, an can smell petrol in the oil cap
plus the coolant in the overflow bit looks like its been mixed with oil or something"
what do we think, head gasket or worse?

A sniff test also known as a tk test,co test,block tester works by sampling the air in the cooling system at the radiator filler,when combustion gas is present it causes the testing fluid in the tester to change colour.
