leaky head gasket??
leaky head gasket??
my car has been leaking anitfreeze like crazy recently. the waterpump was recently changed but when i ran the car for a while it would start to smoke antifreeze from under the hood.
I burped the system like 5 times already and now it seems as if it has stoped smoking but soon after I got a trouble code that said cylinder 5 was missfiring.
I cleaned the wires and found that they where somewhat moist. Ran the car again after they where cleened and it was ran fine. couple days later it starts leeking antifreeze again from under the hood. burped the system again and it was running fine for the longest time. then out of no where I get cylinder 5 and 7 misfiring now.
I was wondering if any of you could help me out with this problem, and/or if you can tell me what the symptoms of a leeking head gasket/cracked head are.
I should also mention that when I took off the oil cap that it had a creamy substance that looked whipped almost. i was told that may be signs of antifreeze in the oil or just some additive that is being whipped in the engine.
any help would be great!! thanks!
