Alright 6GC People I need your help...
Today after driving for about fifteen/twenty minutes I parked and noticed that the temp gauge read above the red line and the H. Popped the hood and heard gurgeling coming from the radiator with some overflow. I let it cool down for an hour then came back and drove around the block a couple times. I noticed that the temperature goes through the roof when it starts and slowly climbs. But when i hit about 40mph it cools down to about 3/4 of the way and when i stop it goes straight back up. I had a similar problem like this before and it was a bad water pump which was replaced a few weeks ago. Today there was no coolant on the ground just the few drops that spilled from the overflow. The engine seemed to be running fine and I wouldnt have noticed anything wrong with it unless i looked at the temp gauge. So can anyone help me? Any ideas? I'm stumped. |

it's ur head gasket, u will start to loose coolant slowly, probably every three days you will have to top off the coolant. a way to find out is to change ur oil and see if coolant is in ur oil. the coolant will separate from ur oil when u drain it in a pan.
