If your radiator blows it will not hold any liquid
There are several symptoms to look for with a blown head gasket 1. there is water in the oil. oil will look like chocolate milk 2. there is oil in the water 3. there are bubles in your radiator. looks like a fish tank which means your loosing compression into your radiator 4. loosing a lot of coolant out of your radiator but you can't find a leak, which means your gasket is blown on the exhaust side and your blowing coolant out your exhaust
Sounds like a blown head gasket
sounds like your head gasket is blown...
That's usally a sign of a blown head gasket. When the engine is cold, take the radiator cap off and then start the engine, if the radiator starts to overflow then that is a sign of a blown head gasket.
Depends. A radiator in a car looks different from a heating radiator in a building. Which one?
When there is no water in the radiator, a car can overheat. Serious damage can occur like a blown head gasket an warping if one drives for a long time without placing water in the radiator.
Most definitely. A blown head gasket can cause the temperature to rise and put back pressure into the radiator, therefore possibly causing the radiator hoses to blow, or even bursting the radiator.
If there is oil in the radiator top up bottle the most likely cause is that your head gasket has blown and the oil is leaking back into the cooling system. A couple of checks you can do is 1. remove the oil filler cap and look inside the top of the engine and look at the filler cap if there is a grey residue (emulsified oil) then your head gasket has most likely blown also you can remove the radiator filler cap and start the engine, if there are any bubbles coming up in the radiator bottle this is also a pretty sure sign that hte haed gasket has blown. Not a cheap job to repair. Hope this helps. If there is oil in the radiator top up bottle the most likely cause is that your head gasket has blown and the oil is leaking back into the cooling system.

either radiator plugged or blown head gasket
Most drain plugs are on the bottom of the radiator they are called (pee-cocks). Some look like a wing-nut and sometime they look like bolts. It would be best if you look near the bottom on the radiator on either sides of the radiator for the drain plugs. I
if water is getting in the oil you have a blown head gasket take it to a mechanic if you are just getting condensation which will look like oil and water sludge on inside of radiator cap, there is not much that can be done about that
