Blown head gasket??
So the other night I was driving my car and when in boost the coolant shot all over my passenger side windshield. This is what I found when I pulled over. The next day the engine was getting hot out of nowhere. One of my fans does not work but I feel like that wouldn't have an effect if my coolant is boiling at 210 degrees. I'm afraid that boost got passed the head gasket and pressurized the coolant. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Is there oil in the coolant or water in your oil? Check under the radiator cap and the dipstick. Typically it creates a sludge that kinda looks like mayonnaise. Otherwise check coolant hoses for leaks.
Don't open the radiator cap after driving the car unless you know what you are doing. P.S. I am at work so can't see you photos so my suggestions are only general head gasket symptoms. |
Yeah, that's oil in the coolant. Take a pic of your dipstick. #nohomo

Grab a combustion leak test kit, follow instructions. That definitely looks like oil in the coolant.
|
You have oil in your coolant.

I thought the coolant in these cars is blue not green?
|
Didn't have access to the oem coolant at the time. No coolant on the dipstick.

green wont make a difference. I have been running green/water ever since we put my built motor in. as long as the system is flushed well first. including the heater core.

Just do a compression test, it only takes a couple minutes ON MOST CARS - DOH!
A shop can do a coolant pressure leak test. Then you listen at the crankcase vent for the sound of air escaping. Not sure if you need to drain some coolant first. You probably wouldnt be able to hear it is it was just pushing water through the leak. Definitely stop driving it! |
