About 1 month ago my Xterra had an oil leak, They replaced the valve cover gasket and upper intake gasket, Now 1 month later the Xterra gets hot and steam coming from under hood, I did not drive it more then 10 feet to curb. Now they replaced my radiator and told me there is coolant mixed with the oil, Head gasket is what they said, Is that right?

Could be. Did you drive it overheated?

No I noticed it getting hot so I was already pulled over when the temp kept going up so I shut it off.
