    I own 2005 SR5 that check engine light came on. Shop tested it and came back with a P code that said coolant getting into engine. This car has only 148K and has never overheated. I am being told it could be blown head gasket or a cracked block. I just don't believe it could be either of those. Does anyone have an idea of what else it could be. Blue book is about 5500.00 and a replacement of the head gasket is about half of that.

    Old school test of a bad head gasket was a soggy exhaust at the tail pipe. It would look like a cold start up in the winter. The exhaust out of the tail pipe would be foggy, but would not clean up once the engine got hot.

    The oil might also be milky colored.
