Recently i notice that I'm not getting any power in third gear. Ok heres how it goes, 1st and 2nd gear seems to run smooth and when i shift into 3rd, when the rpm hits about 4000, I've notice it harder for the rpm to claim up and then when i shift into 4th, all I can see behind me is a big cloud of black smoke. There is a minor minor minor oil leak you can't even notice it. What im guess is that im losing compression, due to the fact i think my headgasket is cracked!
