Possible head gasket?

[Wild one]

Yes I pulled over right away let it cool a couple of minutes and when i continued to drive the temp dropped, im guessing coolant was being pushed through. With the reservoir showing spray once i got home, does this sound like combustion gases? Im trying to locate a combustion leak tester that uses the fluid that changes colour, however nobody seems to sell in Canada.

There's lots for sale on Canuck Amazon,even Crappy Tire has them.

If this engine is toast, why not try head gasket sealer? Still is possible cam lob on 7 toast.

Replacing a blown Head Gasket can be difficult and expensive. Sometimes your car is not worth fixing and this is where a head gasket sealer in a bottle comes...

All I can say to that is my old S10 can't hear you...... It's had K Seal in it for over 4 years now and it's heater core is working just fine.

Clogging a heater core, while entirely possible with sealer somewhat depends on how much you use. Too much and it's like the heater core is having a heart attack - The right amount won't cause this problem BUT with all that said......

Do note the following:
I'd only use sealer if you don't have the time/money to take it apart and have a go at it or you have some other circumstance in the way of you doing it.


I didn't have time or a shop to work on it with, so that's why my pickup has K Seal in it at all but so far, so good. Used only half the bottle instead of the whole thing when I did it and that's probrably why I've had no issues to this day because of it.
