Hello all,

Once again, thanks for the comments and suggestions. A couple of more questions if I may. I still haven't managed to locate a garage willing to work on my "white smoke problem". Several have indicated that they would be willing to take a look in January when their bread and butter business slows down a little.
Question 1: how long I have before facing serious rust resulting from what is probably a little anti freeze leaking into one or several combustion chambers. Are we talking months here....or weeks....or days? If it's days, I may already be too late.
Question 2: Should I be starting the engine regularly to keep things oiled, or does that worsen the problem since I may be drawing more antifreeze into the combustion chamber(s)?
Question 3: bdub suggested putting in some Bars Leaks and making a run to Bluevale. I'll admit this is a tempting option, but what are the chances of a can of this stuff actually temporarily stopping/slowing the lead enough to drive 500 + miles? And don't I run the risk of permanently gumming up the radiator, heater core and coolant passages in the engine block? i.e. Would this cure possibly be worse than the illness?

Frank from Borrmann's garage has suggested getting a radiator pressure tester kit, pressurizing the system, looking for a pressure drop then pulling spark plugs to see which cylinders are affected. It's supposed to warm up to just a few degrees below freezing on the weekend, so this is how I may be spending the day before Christmas....
