15774, probs w/ coolant Posted by aj, Feb-25-02 03:17 PM
It appears to be that I'm loosing coolant somewhere.I checked everything and there apears to be no leak,no puddles.I'm blowing a blue cloud of smoke according to my friend occassionally but blue means oil right?I've gone through about a gallon and a half of coolant in two days.No leaks,and so far no repaet of any over temps.EGT's are slightly highier but not by a lot.I was told by several folks i may have a blown head gasket.The car seems to pull pretty hard though and is quite responsive.Vacuum is fine too.How can I check a head gasket leak?Or warped head?I'd appreciate all the help.

I think if you're spewing out blue smoke, coolant is somehow reaching your combustion chamber. Black smoke equals oil. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong!!!!
