Coolant leaking into any cylinder is a clear indication that the head gasket has blown.
You have a coolant leak.You have a coolant leak.
Coolant leaking into any cylinder is a clear indication that the head gasket has blown. Especially being that your engine is an inline-4, there is only one head and only one gasket.
You would have a leak in the coolant system somewhere and you need to have the system pressure checked.............
Losing coolant in a vehicle is not a good thing. It is best to check all seals and all bends in tubing.
A coolant leak on a 93 cavalier could be anyplace where coolant flows. Check all hoses, connections, the radiator, and heater core for any possible leak spots.
head gasket lets compession push coolant ont into over flow
usually that problem is caused by a leaking head gasket. The only way to find out is to have a mechanic do a leak down test on all cylinders. This will tell you which cylinder is leaking.
not if all the cylinders are even, you may have some leak down past the rings but unless your having differences greater than 20psi I would not worry
Suggest blown head gasket with coolant leaking into one cylinder. Check colour of oil. If emulsified (mucky brown) then definite leak. Also, remove HT leads one by one to identify whether all cylinders are firing. If one is not firing, remove spark plug, then remove all other HT leads and turn engine over. You may find that coolant shoots out of the cylinder, indicating leak into that cylinder.
Yes you can. A cracked block does not necessarily mean the car will overheat. If a block is cracked at a coolant jacket then coolant will leak out and the car will overheat if the leak is bad enough. If the leak is not very major or if the crack is at a point that does not have a coolant jacket then it will not overheat. A cracked block could leak oil, compressed air/fuel, coolant, or nothing at all and still be cracked. -R. Mesyef
Year, make, model and engine info would help but, the intake manifold gaskets are known to leak coolant on many Chevy/GMC engines.
The coolant is low, probably from a leak. You need to have it checked with a pressure testor.
