I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem. I'm considering selling this car to anyone who wants it for cheap, but would be willing to mess with it if its not a drastic repair.

The car leaks antifreeze fairly quickly and its not coming from anywhere around the radiator. the liquid pretty much covers the enging block from underneath the car. The most probable reason I've read on the internet is a blown head gasket. In such a case I want nothing to do with the car. If anyone has any experience with this I would greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks!

you gotta clean it and get under there with a light,to see where its coming from while under pressure. Head gaskets usually blow leaking coolant into the combustion chamber.


Could be as simple as a bypass hose, intake gasket,or thermostat cover leaking.


If its leaking that major, should be easy to spot.

okay i will do that this weekend.

oddly enough, when it rains a lot the car won't start at all. last time i started it it blew horrid exhaust everywhere and wasn't running too well, but i'm not sure if thats because its just a crappy car that no one had started for a month or if anything else has gone wrong.
