Hi Dave,

Actually, end of February I replaced the exhaust manifold as well as its gaskets to the block.

I drove about 2500 Km (Highway) and one morning I noticed the engine was rough when I first started it cold.
Since I was about 2500 Km from home, when I drove all the way back, I started to look into this issue.
If you read the thread, I had issues with the coolant, lots of pressure, leaking from all the radiator hoses etc.

Volvo did not find any water in the oil.

I think that the water pump gasket has failed because in 25 years it has never been changed, but I do not see how the two things could be connected, I mean, how does the coolant leak from the headgasket? How does it get there in the first place?

Thank you,
Alessandro
