well honestly, what are your other options?

you are burning coolant, or worse its getting in your oil. realistically the only things that can cause that are headgasket or a cracked water jacket in the head/block. and a headgasket is way more likely than a cracked jacket.

immediately check your oil for traces of coolant. coolant in your oil WILL BLOW YOUR ENGINE. IF THERE IS ANY STOP DRIVING IMMEDIATELY.

**** happens. fully diagnose the problem with a leakdown test, then replace or rebuild.

have you been seeing lots of smoke lately? its possible something else is wrong, but i dont know if ive ever seen a turbo fail around the coolant seal and go bad that way.

again you need to do a leakdown test asap

You have a blown headgasket and a serious need to attend an english class. ****ing **** it was like reading a 2nd grade foreign exchange student from mexico's sad attempt to write english for the first time.

lol. well it is true. My first language is not english. i barely pass my english classes. But anyway, i'm not even driving it right now. After I've seen the smoke, i went ahead and park it. I'm gonna do a leak down test in the next couple weeks when i go back home. I really just want to part it out and go back to stock.
