David, lots of crap in the driveway

>> At this point, I have received the following to check:
>>
>> 1) steering rack (although it was just completely re-done about 2000
>>  miles ago)
>>
>> 2) front brake lines (although they were replaced less than 2000 miles ago)
>>
>> 3) master cylinder for clutch
>>
>> 4) master cylinder for brakes
>>
>> 5) gear oil (although I don't know from what gear that would be

>>

>>
>> 6) blown head gasket (although the car starts right up and sounds
>> great as it idles or drives)
>>
>> I'll take a look at all these (except the head gasket, since I'm not

>> Again, thanks for all the help!
