Don Virta Garage in Cedar Park, TX, 512-921-8142 is only 90 miles from you. It's on the north side of Austin.
He's pretty good on GMCs.
But, I don't think you've got anything to worry about. AND, there's most likely someone in Fberg that wouldn't mind tightening things up for you. What's your phone number? I'll have Steve McAnally reach out. He probably knows of a good local shop if you want it.

We gonna see you in Kerrville on the 25th?

Subject: [GMCnet] Head gasket leak?

So folks we've made it a little bit further in our journey. But I fear there's more than just an oil leak somewhere. Today we drove it for about
45mins and parked to go on a hike at Enchanted Rock in Texas. Came back and noticed a few more oil drips than normal. Not a puddle but more drip
spots. We drove down to Fredericksburg and are parked at the Yellowstone campground. Started doing a sneaky oil change and noticed that dipstick had a
bit of rust on it. Run roh. Pop open the cab engine cover and notice that the oil is coming out of the head gasket(I'm pretty sure). This isn't
something I can take care of in campground it's above my expertise without some assistance. Anyone in the Fredericksburg area know any good shops or
recommendations that would be very helpful. I'm going to make some calls in the morning. thanks everyone.
