I was driving the other day. And my car lost power and I had to pull over on the side of the road. I got out and it was smoking. I had no more anti -freeze in there. So I let it cool off and went and got some anti freeze. It didnt not start. Soo what do u think? Did I blow a head gasket or do I have to get a new engine. I check the spark plugs and they were wet the anti - freeze a lil wet with them
