Engine Mechanical problem
1985 Toyota 4Runner 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual

The engine is a 22RE, fuel injected. There is a strong smell of fuel in the motoroil, the truck heats up quickly, and the water in the radiator just disappears. Water doesn't leak from radiator itself, nor does it come out the overflow. When I started the truck after setting for about 3 or 4 months white smoke blew out the exhaust for about 5 minutes then cleared. The engine seems really strong but loses power in a short time after heating up. Can ya possibly tell me what the problem may be?
Thank you

Thanks to:Rasmataz for quick reply since I'm not allowed to post any place else, thought I'd do it here! I will be back to let you know how it worked out! Have a Wonderful Day!

Check if the pressure regulator is leaking, sticking injectors and fuel pressure. Coolant disappearing without leaking could mean its being burned in the combustion chamber-Are you overheating?

Do you have a white smoke coming out of the tailpipe-if not try replacing the thermostat and see what happens-if it continues to do so-get it block and pressure tested. Also could air lock in the system.

Oil does it look milky or oil in the radiator

Keep me posted

Get it block and pressure tested this will find where its leaking causing it to overheat-such as a blown headgasket, cracked head or block
