Hi all. Purchased a 2012 Norge 8v about 8 weeks ago. 13000 miles, no service history, but seemed to be running well and is a pleasure to ride. I was out running errands and while cruising at about 65mph steady suddenly heard a strange noise accompanied by a power loss and huge billowing clouds of smoke. Engine still running so I pulled off and had it flat bedded home. Pulled the body work and I find wetness from about the exhaust port back (left side only). Never had any warning lights, and oil is still 3/4 of the way up the OK section of the dipstick. I haven’t run a compression check. Seems like (I hope) a blown head gasket. Does this seem likely to experts here? If so, should I have any work done to the head, or just install new gaskets?
Thanks for any help
