Engine problem
1993 Isuzu Rodeo Question 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 160k miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I was driving my car and all the sudden i stared smoking it smelt like antifreeze i pull over and there was a huge puddle of it, i put some water in it and started to drive it home and then it started to over heat as expected i got it home safely stopping and going putting more water in it. When i got home we check the radiator the hoses all that no leak, went under didn't find the leak but everything was all wet. My cooling system isnt holding pressure. doesn't leak until its starts to drive some. My friend thinks it could be my block its cracked. What do you think?

Very doubtful on the block. Fill it and let it idle in the driveway until it comes to temperature, once it is under pressure the leak may expose itself if it is a leak versus pressure pushing out the cap or overflow.

So you are not able to fill the system?

IF you fill the system and let it run in idle, how long will it take to come to temperature?
