Cadillac Repair: Re: 93 Deville Overheating, transmission levels, headgasket

Question
I forgot to mention when I got home I checked the oil & transmission levels and there didn't seem to be any water or coolant present.

Answer
Hello,

Water is not in today's engine. Anti-freeze/coolant is used to raise the boiling point above 212 degrees f.

There is more to it than just checking the oil which would be white. Headgasket can blow another way causing white smoke from exhaust. Block could also be cracked.

Hey, if you did not do any damage great, but don't gloat yet. Once overheated, you will be finding new overheating issues.

Not trying to insult you on your choice of cars, but the fact is these aluminum engines cannot be driven hot. The design was very seriously flawed.

Good Luck
