I have a 1984 Toyota 2wd with a 20r carb motor.

I am unsure exactly what the problem is with it but i am guess it is a bad headgasket as there is coolant in the oil although what throws me off is the fact there is oil dripping out of the valve cover gasket.

So could a bad valve cover gasket cause these problems...the truck runs and drives however after being warmed up it will die/stall at an idle state meaning you gotta keep the foot on the gas to keep it running. I have not yet had it completly overheat on me at all and there is also no steam coming from the exhaust nor have i seen the temp guage go on red.

if you guys could please help me diagnose the problem i would really appreciate it..Just ask me questions and i will answer them to the best of my knowledge so we can together figure out what is going with the vehicle.

Hopefully then i can figure out how to fix it and if it isnt the headgasket that will be awsome but the coolant in oil is really freakin me out.

truck has 130k.
