Thanks for this help. See, the car vibrates or the body vibrates slightly when its in drive and only when you come to a full stop. When i drive it theres no vibration so i doubt its the headgasket. the radiator cap is clean and so is the oil cap. No sludge anywhere. No smoke from exhaust. My mechanic told me to change the motor mounts? Can they be the culprit. I checked my motor mounts, there so clean as well as the entire car, that youd never think its motor mounts? Car has 56K miles on it. all original californian. Let me know what you think ASAP. Thanks.
