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.
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.
bad head gasket , warped head , etc.
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.
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 )
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.
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.
I am currently having to deal with a bad head gasket on my 2002 venture. One way of determening if the head gasket is bad is oil color on dip stick. If its light brown kind of milky, Gone head gasket. If you are having over heating problems, you are going to run in to head gasket problems FOR SURE. 3.4 known for bad #1 cylinder head gasket going bad. Something to do with the Dex-cool.
