Oil leaking from headgasket

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

I haven't the time to follow the whole thread, but before you do anything 
drastic, check the oil temp sender on the back of the engine, it was cracked 
on mine, and leaked quite a bit of oil that travelled along various grooves 
and ridges on its way to the ground. Not sure if the non-MFA cars have it, 
but it's worth checking.
