Pontiac Repair: 1997 pontiac sunfire water leaking, 1997 pontiac sunfire, pontiac sunfire


Question
my sunfire is leaking water out of the tail pipe at idle when first started and after it heats up it stops, It also leaks at higher rpm's while driving. I think the leak is coming from either a blown O ring or the head gasket.  Would anyone know what's causing the leak? and Would you you recommend using block sealant

Answer
Hey Myles:

whan you say leaking water do you men there is steam somming out of the ial pipe all the time? or is it just dripping water a few drops here an there. if it's just a few drops here and there it's condensation and that's normal. A byproduct of complet combustion in the engine is water. Now if it's steaming all the time that's bad and sealant will not fix it it will need repair and it could be either a head hgasket or a craked block/head.
