Three things are possible, none are good on that engine. It's 15 years old, so,you got your money outta it. The coolant things you state, is kinda,uh, you guys never opened the hood and checked oil or coolant.Thats why the car is done. It's a 1993 dude, junk it and get a new one. Take her shopping for a different car tomorrow.Car is missing oil, found in radiator! Won't start either! HELP?īasically the engine was run too low on oil and has whats comomnly know as ' blown' The bearings were starved of oil,if this happpens for only a second, the engine is finished or very short lived. If she was driving on the interstate and it got noisy and quit and there is no oil in it, it's shot. Thank You!Car is missing oil, found in radiator! Won't start either! HELP? What would those reasons be? I don't want to replace it just to have it blow again!Īny and all advice would be great! I plan to take it to a mechanic but I'd like to diagnose the problem myself to try to save money. So let's say hypothetically that it is the head gasket, I can fix that, but it must have blown for some reason. I suspect this to be a blown head gasket, but don't have the tools right now to check the spark plugs for the same sludge or green coolant.
I unscrewed the oil cap after finding the oil dipstick to be completely dry and smelled a distinct burning scent. Under the radiator cap is the same story: mostly dry with the same sweet smelling sludge. After a two hour waiting time for a tow, it came to me where I discovered that her engine was bone dry of oil! The coolant overflow was empty except for about two ounces of sludge that is brown and smells like sweet scented oil. =p She was on the freeway and noticed through her loud music that her car was making a loud lawnmower type sound, then her car completely lost power and died there. My girlfriend just brought home her '93 Geo Prism on a tow truck. WHAT CAR DO YOU HAVE.ME TELL YOU WHAT IT WI IL COST TO PUT RITE!!! YOU CO UD PUT BLOCK SEALER IN THE WATER IF YOU ARE GETTING OIL IN WITH YOUR WATTER YOUR HEAD GASKET IS BLOWN. What year, make, model, mileage? Generally, warped head or bad head gasket or both.
#Whats radiator fluid level on geo 5 2010 cracked#
or a blown head gasket, cracked block/head. 1 an anti corrosive material added to the radiator. That can be one of two things if you ask me. PS Don't continue to drive or run the engine because the bearings are not getting the proper lubrication and bigger parts will begin to fail. And to do that, they usually disassemble the valve components in the head. Head must be removed and planed (resurfaced) as it warped when it overheated and probably won't hold the new head gasket tight enough when reassembled. This is further indication of head gasket failure. Check the oil on the dipstick and see if it is the usual dark brown/blackish color or white/gray. coolant is not good for for the crank and rod bearing.Why is there oil in my overflow from radiator? also if the car is going to sit for a while before its repaired I highly recondmend drain the oil out of the oil pain. You should stop driving it becuase it will cause more harm to the motor. there are so many variables that we need more specific information about your car to give you a fair and more acquit answer.Need to know year make model millage have you ever over hearted in the pass etc.Īlso if it is the head gasket your oil will look like a nasty looking milk shake. I seen that oil in the cooling system from the Internal part of the cooler routing out. But depending on if the car or truck that has oil a cooler. Usually for a head gasket warp head you get water in the oil. How can I fix it cheapWhy is there oil in my overflow from radiator?
