[QUOTE="pussy, post: 294748, member: 60"] two test options...either one will tell what.. 1. buy the nasa coolant, it's a coolant with a green fluorescent dye based. mix it for 4 cans to the radiator add water, bleed the system good. drive for a few days, then in the night, after you reached home, in darkness, shine your torch light at the all the plumbing and radiator areas, even under the car, see any trace of the leak, it will show dried green dye. or 2. very simple, check your radiator cap..it's always the problem, the mechanic's always pressure test the system, but always never check the cap.. if there is no leak, then assume the worst, the head is gone, before you go off doing the top overhaul, do a compression test..it will confirm it.. by the way, this is the worst nightmare for the engine. best of luck.
