Loss of coolant with no apparent leak. White smoke from the exhaust. Overfull oil level. A white foamy substance on the underside of the oil fill cap. Ai bubbles escaping from the radiator with cap off engine running. And a possible miss on one or more cylinders.
One of the symptoms of a blown head gasket for a Toyota Camry is excessive steam or coolant coming from the tailpipe. Engine oil mixing with the coolant and a miss in the engine are also symptoms of a blown head gasket.
my car overheated and now i have excessive water coming out the tailpipe of my 97 Nissan altima . is the head gasket blown ?
Steam (White Smoke) coming from the tailpipe is the #1 indicator.
If the vehicle does not have any bad head gasket symptoms like fluid loss or cooling system pressure build up or white smoke out the tailpipe then the head gasket does not ever need to be replaced.
If the vehicle isn't overheating then it's probably not a blown head gasket. There could be a problem with the oxygen censor.
the fluid will be leaking from the head
The Intake gasket is leaking, NOT THE HEAD GASKET. Replace the intake gasket
You do not repair a head gasket you replace it with a new gasket which requires removing the head.
Overheating, oil in the water of radiator, water in the oil. Less power.
The head gasket seals between the head and block. The head gasket is inside the engine, up high.
You can change the head gasket by removing the valve cover. Remove the gasket and clean the gasket surface. Put the new head gasket on the cleaned surface.
