I have an 89 accord LX-i 5 speed, and all of a sudden I have pink crap coming out of my exhaust. It runs great still. It has regular green antifreeze with no additives anywhere.
I think I know what it is but I want some more opinions before i dive in.
Thanks

Moo, could it be leftover like shampoo from a carwash? Also thanks for the help the other day, been drying the carpet since then to make sure it's 100% dry.

 

i havn't washed the car in about 4 months. so I don't think so lol.
And no problem. Has it dried out yet?

 

Ahh gotca, I've had crap like that that caked into my door jams one time and when I hand washed it it came out

Yeah slowly going, it's almost 100% dry

 

I just called honda tech line and they suggested fuel contamination. So this may be a possibility.

 

You know that look like old honda trany fluid, but thats automatic fluid.

 

if it was an automatic i would have considered a bad radiator. but this is a 5 speed

 

That's True, That's True

 

It's a blown head gasket. Confirmed it ont he way home. White smoke the whole way

 

A new twist to the story. It's been sitting since i wrote the original thread.
It's outside running right now with no smoke or anything from the exhaust. I have done nothing to it except for top off the coolant.

Maybe this car has been srewing around with someone else when the owner is not around.... danm... not even cars are being faithful these days...

How does a car feel (as far as when driving) with a blown head gasket???

depending on the severeity of the rupture it will be down on power or it will just have no power and sound like a helicoptor
