Hey people I have a problem, I was driving on my way to church yesterday and when I got there I felt my car running like crap so I park it and pop the hood only to find out that my valve cover gasket is leaking oil and coolant is leaking from some where in the back of the block. Now the car did not over heat or get warm at all it stayed at normal temp. the whole time even on the drive back home. Would a busted vavle cover gasket cause this problem? Can anyone diagnose this? And could someone explain the coolant comming from the back of the block. Any help is appreciated thanx fellas.

 

Check your overflow container.. Does it look like a chocolate milkshake? If so you have a blown head gasket. But as far as coolant leaking from the back of the block.. Check your hoses,, like your heater core hoses, or even the hoses that go to the IACV in the back of the intake manifold. Need more info to really diagnose it.. change the valve cover gasket,, to make it less of a headache...
