Default Blown head gasket????

My friend just gave me a call and said his civic made an "awkward noise" and when he went to check the motor it was leaking coolant. Sounds like a bad head gasket huh?

need more info, yo.

Leaking from where?

What noise?

Does it run?

Compression?

Misfire?

cmon...He could have hit a possum (weird noise) and the radiator hose got caught up in it (leaking coolant).

Anything could have happened.

You mean like a squeaking noise? A grinding noise? An elephant noise?

Where? Internally? Externally?


It sounds like the flux capacitor to me...

i really dont think head gaskets make any sort of noise? gotta describe the noise? maybe the noise is even a radiator hose bursting?

i agree with the flux capacitor comment

it could be a number of things. water pump, thermostat housing, heater/radiator hose as well as head gasket if it is leaking coolant outside of the motor.

If there is coolant in the oil, it is almost always something more serious.
