Overheating issue

Joe1234 · 11-13-2014, 10:35 PM

I do see white smoke but I assume it's condensation because it's cold outside now . . After the car warms up after 10 min the white smoke goes away. There's no sounds from the radiator cap but some coolant flows to the overflow tank and its boiling after I shut the car off. But that's when the car is pretty much overheating .

When I had a cracked head 2 years ago the symptoms were a puff of white smoke on start up that would go away. As it got worse I had overheating problems. There are several tests for exhaust gasses in the coolant from cracked heads or gaskets. Check out youtube for this subject. I would still check or change the thermostat. If it does not open the engine will overheat.

Okay I will try. Thank u so much for your help . I'm really hoping the head gasket isn't cracked or leaking, I'd be devastated��
