Unhappy Car problems

i have a 1990 Mazda rx7 GxL...everytime i turn on the car, it starts vibrating and making this really weird noise..and smoke comes out of both mufflers...i checked under the hood and it was completely out of coolant...but, i had added coolant two weeks beforehand...so my father says that i have a leak in the gasket...if its true...more or less..how much would a gasket cost for an rx7???

if i were you i would take it to a specialist. It sounds like your car has a cold and needs a check up!

If it blew a coolant seal you probably need to rebuild it. Check the oil, I believe when coolant gets in there it makes a white froth ontop of it or something *shrug* It of course all comes down to where it is leaking...

You might need a good rebuild...cuz if your loosing coolent thats not good.

How's the temp gauge looking? HOT! If you most likely your screw.
