I doubt you have any head/gasket problems. If you did you would be
going thru coolant more often than that. As far as the mileage goes,
there are many other things that would cause a drop in mileage before a
head gasket would. If you still want a head I have them available.

1985 300TD has high pressure in the radiator tank even when cold. Runs low on coolant, but only about twice a year, no visible leak. Mileage has decreased from 26 -> 21mpg, no detectable loss of power. Performed coolant chemical test for leak, which was negative.
Is this the head gasket? If so, anyone have a rebuilt head they'd like to get rid of? Not in a big rush to fix it, but would like my 26mpg back!
Thanks,
Karl
