They are telling you to make sure it is the headgasket and not something else before you take it all apart. If it is busted fix it yourself for sure, but if it isn't then don't mess with it.
That sounds good, but what you describe could definatly be something other than a HG. With the smell of coolant inside the passanger compartment, there is a good chance that the heater core is rotted out. As for the water out the tailpipe.... it is winter, and a lot of condensation occurs in there. Just food for though.toadstang said:bhuff, I am getting a smell inside the car that is noticable at higher speeds., and it does smell weird. Plus I have water in my exhaust every now and then. Matter of fact the other day is when I noticed that cuz I was on my driveway and it was dripping out my tail pipe. And I was thinking about doing that while I had the head out anyway.
