Yes, it sure does. A defective head gasket will allow coolant to enter the combustion chamber and then make its way into the oil pan. This coolant mixed with oil will slowly but surely destroy your engine. Stop driving this vehicle until you have the head gasket replaced.
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.
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.
A bad head gasket can do that or an engine oil cooler gone bad in the radiator. The year, make and model info would help.
A pressure test on the cylinders will tell if you have a bad head gasket. If you hear a whistle sound near the intake gasket, spray WD-40 (or any type of petroleum spray) on the area and if there is a leak the engine rpms (or engine sound) should change.
bad head gasket , warped head , etc.
A blown head gasket could cause an engine to overheat, just like a bad thermostat in an Impala. One difference is the head gasket will probable leak coolant, either in the cylinders or in the oil.
It depends on if you have been driving it with a bad gasket. Most garages will have to send out the head to be tested to make sure it is not warped. I had a cracked head gasket but the head did not need to be machined. The repair cost me $750.
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 )
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.
replace it
A bad head gasket or a cracked head will do that.
Coolant getting into a combustion chamber. Probably a bad head gasket or intake manifold gasket.
