Car Repair Questions and Answers


Question:
2004 GMC Canyon
mileage: 67,000. I
had noticed my
temperature gauge
getting hot. I checked
the radiator level and
it was low. I
thought I saw some oil
in the coolant.
When I picked up the cap
to put it back on, I had
noticed a spot of what
looked like grease. It
feels like grease.
Therefore it must be.
From reading the other
posting, it sounds like
a blown head gasket.
How far can I drive it
before I have to it
fixed?
Answer:
Have the engine checked immediately. It sounds like you
blew a head gasket. Anytime you have oil in the coolant
the problem will only get only get worse and ultimately
cost more money to fix if other parts get over heated.
