Air looking bubbles in the anti-freeze and water path?

Question

It really looks like soap when you put it in water,,,does that mean my engine is broken? (broken heads, etc.)

My car over heats as soon as I leave the freeway,,,,I add water but it seems like it's eating the water somehow....no leaks under the car and when I open the pressure valve a lot of vapor comes out, no water left.

It's a 1997 Eagle Talon Esi, NonTurbo, FWD

Answer 1

Definitly bad. Blown head gaskets, and likely cracked head. Good luck

Answer 2

air bubbles in your radiator indicates compression in the coolant system. This is a major repair most likely a head gasket or a cracked head. suggestion...... evaluate the car, is it worth repairing? This repair will be expensive more than $800 depending on make and model......sell if possible

Answer 3

Your car is going to DIE if you just keep adding water and do not find the real problem and source of the leak in the cooling system.... pPLEASE take you car to a mechanic --- before it dies on the freeway and you are the cause of a pile-up or you get stuck on a dark road late in the night ...........this leak is not going to correct itself.... you get help and fix it or you are going to have to buy another engine or another vehicle...........

Answer 4

sounds like head gasket trouble and or cracked head
if you are getting a mayonaise like substance in the radiator and no coolant left probably going out the exhaust.
Try doing a cylinder compression check..
