You can drive it til is hydro locks...
I'd say yes, it is possible.
Oil can get intothe head, and mix with coolant.. check your oil dipstick, if its like chocolate milk.. then your headgasket needs to be replaced asap.
also, it would be a distributor seal leaking, or an exhaust intakeIs it possible for oil to be leaking out my head gasket?
It's unusual for such a serious problem as a head gasket leaking oil and the car is still running normally. So if the engine is still running as always I would guess the valve cover gasket is leaking and the oil is flowwing down the sides of head. If the head gasket is leaking, you're damaging the engine every minute it is running and it should be fixed immediatly.
the oil is not leaking from the head gasket it is leaking from the valve cover gasket.. and running down on the manifold and smoking.. remove the valve cover.. purchase a gasket ask for rubber.. clean up the manifold gasket area and the area on the head... purchase some cement to hold the gasket in place while up put it back on the engine.. ok. you can drive check the oil and add some if it is more than half way down. ok.
an oilway feeding the OHC with oil under(now) less pressure than ideal. check radiator for oil slick %26amp; dipstick for grey sludge of water mixing in the oil. FIX pronto. contaminated water means a full flush out and a head gask job. engine oil and water means same job, and a quick cleanout-or the crank will rust from contact with the water. check compression-you know you have a bad head gsk, you prob overheated it. just pray you don't have to plane/replace the head.
Yes. I wouldn't drive it to long you might blow the engine if you run to low on oil and that will cause it to seize up and not run and then you will have a big paper weight. It might cost more to repair then a new engine but you need to check it out with a mechanic. Good Luck
