Started getting some high coolant temp readings (205-215°F) so it was time to take off my lower grill block. Pulled it off.

The next day I was still getting the high readings. Popped the hood and coolant had spilled a little out of the reservoir. Let it cool down and the radiator is low.

I'm pretty sure that means it's headgasket time....
Oh no! Coolant in the oil?

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
