The past few weeks I've been having some strange *******/wheezing sound that lasts for just a second or so randomly during warmup, but not every time. Also at the same time I've noticed just a few drops of coolant where the block/head meet on the driver side, but not every time. Other than these 2 things the engine runs fine, no oil in coolant, coolant in oil, sweet/white exhaust, and factory gauges read normal (and I know they suck).
I guess I'd just like to know how common 7.3 head gasket issues are and what are the usual symptoms? I think I read the 6.9 is more prone to head gasket issues. Just don't know if I should worry about that sound and drops of coolant?
Thanks for any help,
BH
