Either that or your oil cooler. Both are not fun to do, but not horrible either.

I'd say don't freak out about it, just get it fixed. You'll be fine.

crisdog80 I noticed that in another thread you say in your signature that you hydroliced your engine, it is possible that you did pop your head gasket when you hydroliced your engine. does the oil add alot to the cooling system and/or does your engine oil level drop lots in a day of normal driving? Its not too hard to pull your engine oil cooler off to have it tested just have the install gaskets ready if it passes the pressure test. as for the head gasket its not that bad there are quite a few guys on this site that have done the head gasket re&re so search the threads.
