I believe I have blown head gasket!! I can go drive the car 20+ miles then when I turn the car off the drivers side tail pipe steams (true duals).

The radiator and the coolant bottle are low after 2 days of driving, but it is not leaking on the ground, or anywhere on the motor.

Also, the car has felt like a PIG! I mean I think my 4cly tacoma could beat me in a race. Would this be a "sympton" of a head gasket leak?

Thanks yall.

No oil is not milky.

I just wanted to see what yall suggested before I pull the head off.

Thanks again everybody.

I had similar issues with my car, just got it out of the shop. My passenger head was warped about .008" and allowed just enough coolant to get through that it affected the idle and just a little bit of white smoke from the exhaust.

PS. If you need new GM HG's I have them... the first shop I had it at bought GM ls1/ls6 head gaskets and everything else despite me telling them it's been resleeved. No need for them now.

What color is the exhaust?(if any) It might be coolant leak/bad head gasket. Check all lines. Dont drive it anymore.

Agreed, A cylinder with water in it could bend a rod when trying to start it!!!

Thanks scoby41 if this a bad head gasket I will keep you in mind

The exhaust has been white, coming out of the drivers side tail pipe (true duals.)

I checked all the hoses and do not see any visible leaks. I can start the car and let it warm up completely and I will watch the whole time and I do not see anything!!

Any more help would be great everyone!
