[QUOTE="slednecks1124, post: 1485830, member: 16653"] My wife was driving to work today, she got about 30 minutes away from the house and all of a sudden the car started chuggin, when she got into Lacey and had to stop at the stoplights it would idle real rough like it was going to die. She limped it to work and called me to come check it out. I went to her work to check it out, I started it up and it immediately ran like crap. When I would give it a little throttle it would start to smoke out the exhaust and it had a really funky smell, kinda had a small hint of sulfur. I went to take it for a drive and didnt even think I was going to make it out of the parking lot, it would surge a bit when I tried to accelerate but kinda ran a little better once I actually got going. I pulled the dipstick when I got back to see if I could see any traces of coolant but didnt see any, pulled the oil cap off and there was like tan milky oil on the underneath of the cap. Would this be a blown headgasket? The vehicle is a 95 Toyota 4Runner with the 3.0 V6 & it has about 275K miles on the odometer. and if it is a blown headgasket, is it driveable about 30 miles back home? I dont have a way to tow it home right now so im hoping we can limp it back home. [/QUOTE]
