Yesterday while I was doing my brakes I decided to look and see how difficult the spark plugs were to get to. While I was looking at the motor I noticed a reddish brown stain on the passenger side that runs down the entire die of the block. It starts at the bottom of the head and runs all the way down. I had the heads replaced at 30K miles, and I was wondering if the heads were leaking again. The truck is still under warranty and I would like to know if this is something that is normal and is nothing or is it something I should scream at the service manager about. I thought head gaskets should last longer than 35k miles. any help would be greatly appreciated.
