I own a 1994 RT 10 with 8,000 miles on the OD. I have been reading some posts regarding head gaskets. Inevitably it made me look at what I had at the bottom area of the V 10. Well no oil loss and no coolant mixed oil..No coolent smell, loss or puddles. Just some stains seen in the pictures below.

Is it time or the 2.5K head gasket job, or damage might happen at this stage in the game?

Advice would be appreciated, Arthur

This looks just like the stains on my 94. It is leaking antifreeze or did at one time or another. Your's appear to have started to seep. I replaced my head gaskets about 2 months ago with a great crew of Viper guys. PM me a name and a number if you want to and I'll give you the rundown on what you need and where to get the stuff.

Weeping And Seeping..... not IF but When they will go

Usually not catastrophic, but you might start checking with Sponsor-Vendors for the improved gaskets

You're close to Tator. Give Chuck a call, he changed my head gaskets at 25K. You cannot find a better guy for this job.
Did I mention Chuck has a Red GEN 1...:2tu:

Absolutely Chuck has done more than his fair share of head gaskets. At the very least, give him a call at 914-763-3136.

If you plan to DIY I can tell you the job is obvious and straight-forward (and that 2.5k number goes down to around 600 bux :2tu: ).

Yes, you should do it sooner rather than later. You'll enjoy driving it even more knowing it's done and back to 100%.
