Hey all,
I just bought a Mazda B2500 two weeks ago. It started losing coolant (within a week) so I took it back to the dealership and they had me take it to the shop they use for their vehicles. They found combustion gasses in the coolant...great. Turns out it has a leak in the head gasket.
I realize I bought it "as is" but they have a limited warranty for 50% off parts and labor. The wording is "internal lubricated parts."
Do you think a head gasket would be classified under "internal lubricated parts"? Talking to the shop manager, he said it can start (if it isn't already) getting into the combustion chambers and start affecting the pistons and/or piston rings. That would definitely be internal lubricated parts.
What do you all think? Am I hosed?
