On top of the other 2 answers.to test a head gasket blown between the cylinder and another port, do a leak down test Any time an engine is operating outside proper specifications, unnecessary wear and damage may be caused to the the. This pumps air into the cylinder and measures how much is lost
You can listen and look for the source of where the air is exiting A number of problems could occur to the catalytic converter as the result of an engine that is out of tune To test the coolant system, do a coolant system pressure test
Pressurize the coolant system, and see. Adding too much of this is enough to cause blockages in heater matrixs and radiators A damaged head gasket usually results in lots of steam out the exhaust pipe as i suffered head gasket failures in a ford 3.0 v6 twice The second time coolant leaked into a cylinder, it created hydrolock, preventing the starter from cranking the engine.
Coolant clearly leaking onto the ground beneath the head gasket there is no loss of oil Radiator cap seems to fit tight I looked into bad intake manifold gasket symptoms, but it does not have Green, red, or yellow leaks under the car overheating engine engine running rough decrease in power, acceleration, and fuel economy
Conduct a proper pressure test to find out. I recently replaced the head gasket in my renault k9k (700) 1.5 dci, due to a cylinder/cooling system type failure As such, the cooling system is full of partially burned diesel During the head replacement the mechanic is going to drain the cooling system, and then after tearing down the engine will get rid of all traces of old sealers and gasket material in order to make a good seal with the new gasket.
Anyway, to sum up, head gasket failure is more common but intake gasket failure is the only other way exhaust could smell like coolant, especially if oil and coolant aren't mixing By 'on its own', i meant without mixing with oil in case there was any confusion There's more ways for it to end up in combustion chambers in that. I have a leakage, the cooling fluid reservoir is empty and some has leaked from the radiator
Now the mechanic is telling me i need a new water pu. According to this website, the cat can surely be plugged by coolant entering the catalytic converter Here are the reasons given on the website
