head gasket

Hi,

What's the different between a leak head gasket and a blown head gasket?
Will a leak gasket eventually become a blown gasket?

thanks

yes its best to replace them as soon as you see a leak to prevent head damage

They're pretty much the same thing.

Usually you say, "I have a blown head gasket" when the leak is very bad. For example, you run out of coolant in 2 minutes of driving.....I remember those days.

Re: head gasket (sleepyIntegra)

some signs are over heating, smoke, cloudy mixture of antifreeze, eithewr if it is leaky or blown its basically the same thing. dont drive around or u risk seizing the motor
