I was in Austria in July of 87. Massive rain storm hit just before our arrival and half of the hostel in Saltzburg had been flooded. Our semi private 2 to a rom suddenly had 4 sets of bunk beds in it. Can’t remember all the smaller places we visited but it is some of the nicest country I have every seen. Went across the border in to northern Italy and for the first time in my life witnessed outright racism from the Italian border guards. One of the guys in our group is black and they basically hauled him off the bus and searched all his belongings.

Our tour guides and interpreters weren’t much help as it just seemed normal to them. Was not something our group of Canadian 16 year olds was used to seeing.

+1 on Austria and surrounds scenery. Me and Del were there 07. I was gutted we didn't go any where near Mattighofen, home of KTM dirt-bikes. Tour bus guide was a kiwi based in Europe, so we had a time regardless...

I don't like working on these engines.
Was hoping the coolant loss was internal to the turbo, but due to the lit up #1 exhaust port, no such luck..

Nothing obvious with the gasket, time to bust out the straight edge.

Yup.

I liked that engine in a little Sonic RS I drove some years back. Do they typically throw head gaskets?

No.
They typically leak from every orifice known, plus some unknown.
They chit turbos regularly.
Coils like to corrode.

This one has to have a crack between the coolant passages and the exhaust valve guide/port.
Nothing visible with head, deck or gasket.
The dye is showing more on one valve/side of the port than the other.
Hard to see in pic.
