Well, it's my little sister's car, but I have the world's BEST fiance, and he fixes my car, my mom's car, my dad's car, and my sister's car cuz he's wonderful. He can fix a head for about 100 bucks, because he is wonderful like that. That's what he thought was wrong with it...head gasket...but I was just asking what you all think. My man is great!

Oil is normal...not milky or mixed with antifreeze

i believe that the reason it blew is because there is way too much oil in it. the oil probably caused the head gasket to blow. hopefully the head is not warped or cracked.
ill have to pull the head off to see.
don't need a new one, just a new head gasket (50 bucks) and have the head pressure checked(50 bucks), hopefully

first check is easy - if there is coolant in exhaust then there is coolant on top of the piston - water flows down from there into the crankcase past the piston rings. if ther is water mixed with your oil and your running the engine (hence rear coolant waterfall) then ther is just one place to check - pull the dipstick for the oil - if its foaming or looks like chocolate milk then the water is between your bearings on the crankshaft as well - replacing a head gasket wont help the bottom end - if the oil is normal u can give the head gasket a try. p.s. change the oil and filter too

You have a blown head gasket. It's going to cost at least 2K to fix. If you have a Japanese car you can buy a used motor with less than 30K miles on it and have it installed for about that much. Check with Metric Motors for pricing. If your car isn't worth very much you may as well junk it.

Cracked head or blown head gasket. About the only ways coolant can get to the exhaust.

Could be a blown head gasket, cracked head, or cracked block. Have it checked, and driving it this way will cause major engine damage and failure. Take it in for repairs before you end up with a very large paperweight.

Make sure you have the head checked for trueness at a machine shop. May as well have them install new valve seals. They should come with a head rebuild gasket kit.

reliable question till you artwork it out positioned water in it is going to artwork only not to boot as coolant on a warm day. i'd have guessed water pump earlier yet you suggested you replaced it the coolant went someplace? how about the passenger aspect floor from a foul heater center? or did you make the most of a rebuilt water pump? oftentimes cases the rebuilt ones leak too. i purchase new water pumps even as ever plausible. keep attempting to ascertain the position that water is going reliable good fortune.
