Went back, they looked at it again the next day. They said both fans in front are working, can't find any indication that fluids that have no business mixing are mixing, i.e. no coolant on the oil dipstick, no oil in the coolant, voluntarily gave me $75.00 back and said i should keep their thermostat and they think it is a head gasket issue.

Took it down the street to Rising Sun motors which was highly rated on internet and on the Car Talk mechanic finder section. $60 charge for a diagnosis. They said they suspect it was the thermostat and I should change it. I said the thermostat is brand new. They said well maybe it was installed wrong or backward. We can do further diagnosis but will cost $195. Was pretty satisfied with the people at the Shell station and the voluntary refund. Not thrilled with the 2nd $60 diagnosis turning up nothing but a request for more money to further diagnose.

Any ideas on who to turn to in College Park, MD area? If so called professionals who make their living and feed their families in this business can't easily figure out what ails my antique Jeep I lose hope that an un-savvy fellow like myself armed with nothing but YouTube and a tool set from Ikea is going to do much better?
