NO get it fixed or you will be replacing an engine $$$ Soon.
If it is leaking from a bad head gasket, it is because of a bad head gasket. If it is leaking from a bad intake manifold gasket, it is because of a bad intake manifold gasket.
Not very far. If it's only the head gasket your engine should still run but driving it is a very bad idea. with a blown head gasket the coolant channels wont be sealed and you'll lose it all. without coolant the engine would overheat in a matter of minutes.
Yes, that is possible. But, know that if you have a blown head gasket you will do serious engine damage if you continue to drive the vehicle. You need to have this looked at by a trusted mechanic. Do not continue to drive the vehicle.
Since these represent 2 very distinctly different parts of the drive train of the vehicle, it is not likely for a head-gasket to affect the battery.
White smoke is usually the result of burning engine coolant. This is also usually the result of a bad head gasket and/or a cracked head. Don't continue to drive it. Have a trusted mechanic diagnose it soon.
Bad head gasket or cracked head. If you continue to drive it you will cause serious damage to internal engine parts.
You have a cracked head or a bad head gasket. Don't drive it, you make cause more damage doing so.
A head gasket is only one of the many gaskets in the engine. Each has a separate function and failure by any one gasket will result in different type of leakage. A head gasket failure is perhaps the most disruptive.
Yes , engine coolant can get in an engine cylinder from a bad head gasket , a warped or cracked cylinder head , a bad intake manifold gasket etc. ( P.S. I'm not a mechanic / technician )
replace it
A bad head gasket or a cracked head will do that.
You probably have a bad head gasket or a cracked head. I recommend not driving it until it is fixed. You could do further damage the more you drive it.
