Your turbo might be vaporizing the "drip"... Posted by IrieTom [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: have i blown a head gasket or not??, chrystobal, Tue, 22 May 2001 10:41:12 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
You might have a pinhole leak that only flows under pressure. By the time you can pop the hood and look, the leak has stopped and been heat-dried. Is there any white residue near your temporary repair?
Has the temperature remained constant? If it has, you're probably OK.
If you're feeling paranoid, have the coolant system pressure-tested. The near-overheat episode might have caused a weak part of the system to give way. I just pressure-tested my coolant system over the weekend and found TWO leaks. Had to pump the system up over 20 psi before they started hissing.
Good luck!
