Answer
Steven ,

Unfortunately this sounds to me very much like a Blown Head Gasket . A BHG is a very serious problem and would require a few hundread dollars to fix .

Steven , just to be sure I would take the car too a qualified mechanic and have them take a serious look at the car . I wish allexperts.com would update some of the questions I've answered this month . Honestly with the winter month's starting to subside , I can safely say I've diagnosed at least a dozen BHG's !

Below is one of the only previously answered questions I have on BHG's .

Steven if you have any more questions then please feel free to send another e-mail . Post me a follow-up after you take it into the shop . Don't forget to rate my response to you .

Cheers ,

Ed McKenna
