#128267, "RE: Mystery oil leak and bad idling " In response to In response to 14
Originally posted by at88mph BTW, IF the temp gauge is correct (when I start it, its at the very bottom and gradually goes to the middle but no higher) then why isn't the car overheating since it has a blown head gasket??? I mean, its gotta be a bad leak if I have 0 compression and MASSIVE amount of white smoke out the back. Could it be that's where my problem really came from??? The car is actually overheating, but the gauge is broke? Thanks!
How is your coolant level? It could take a while to run low enough to cause it to overheat. The car I purchased had several things wrong with it... less than 1/2 gallon of burnt rusty coolant came out, running low enough on coolant finally did this one in (good for me though!).
