Just Curious... What would be first symptom when your coolent seals are bad..?

thanks

 

It usually starts with your car overheating and your coolant boiling over. In the beginning it will overheat once in a while. Then it blow white smoke, and then its over. You could always use crc block weld, there was a thread on it.

 

well mine went completely today
it gave me problems like a month ago
and went away

but today when i got on it like 5min later
coolant light kicked on.
latewr drv home pulled into garage and
boiling reserve tank spitted anti-freeze onto floor.
and i saw temp going up high fan
werent even on ? why not

so i shut car off and buzzer went on when i turned the key to on
(not motor) then fans kicked on.
reserve was still boiling cooled down and went inside too cry
is it too late even for the crc block ?
for a while longer

 

My engine exhibited the following symptoms:

- gurgling sound (for the last 40K)
- misfire at idle, shows up as rich A/F on gauge (last 500 mi.)
- coolant buzzer (last 50 mi.)
- blowing coolant into bottle w/o returning;
- small bubbles at fill cap upon cold start;
- vaccum dropped from 14 in. Hg to 11 in. Hg (last 500 mi.)


I pressure tested the system: dropped 1.5 psi w/in 30 minutes and 9 psi over 12 hours and totally lost all press. in 24 hours.
