hi every body,

my rex (1986 GXL auto) overheated about a week ago up at where I work.... but It would still run if I gave it enough throttle to keep it at about 1000 rpms... I am pretty sure this means blown cooland seal, but want to check with yall for other suggestions, I am asking because I am probably just going to sell it rolling chasis status with motor still in, I havent checked to see if it runs in about a week so yeah... well let me know if you have any Ideas or if I am right or what... oh and by the way, the cooland passages are probably pretty nasty because the guy before me seemed to have put only water in it and left it like that for a while.... so I wouldn't doubt a blown coolant seal.... anyways let me know.... or if you are interested in buying it I am taking offers I live in the chula vista san diego area..... and if it still runs it could probably make it a little distance..... ok thanks bye

 

does smoke come out the exhaust? does it drink coolant?

 

it seemed to be taking cooland, but not bad enough to drain it durring the hour or so commute home.

 

it did smoke some though....

 

did the smoke smell sweet?

 

yeah, like coolant anti-freeze.... that is why I susspected a blown seal...
