ok so... my b16's leakin oil out from around the head and i think it's leaking coolant as well.

i would assume that the headgasket's ****ed up but i just replaced it about a month ago with a nice buddy club one.

any help would be appreciated.

did you surface the bottom of the head, and top of block before you put it back together? if it blew a head gasket before it probably got hot enough to mess up the surfaces.

make sure you have the right spec gasket and tighten everything down.

couple of things did u straight edge the head and block to make sure they was warped. when u pulled the head off did u take the head bolt off in the right order so that u dont warp the head anymore. when u reinstalled did u get new head bolt/studs or reuse the old 1. did u after putting a few 100 miles on it go back and recheck the tq on the head bolts/studs.

it kind of contradicts your screen name. Good luck with it.

(I feel stupid, I don't know all the engine codes, what engine is the B16?)

It sound like your head gasket is on wrong. Is it only shooting out of the back of the head near the gasket?
