    let it cool down, refill the coolant and drive it home...cheaper than having it towed and just as efficient...if need be take breaks to make sure it doesn't overheat

    If you gotta get it towed, make sure you atleast get a flat bed and some 2x4's. AAA's tow company fucked my front bumper up haha, you cant see it "normally" but if you lay down and look at the bottom of the front bumper, that thing just dug into the concrete.

    Oh ya, and hope that strut bar isn't painted. coolant fucks up paint lol.

    Probably just a burst hose, if so, those are simple to fix... just pop the clamps off and take the hose to Autozone/advanced. then just top the coolant back off. I'd assume thats what your problem is....

    lol... well if the headgasket went out bad enough to spew coolant everywhere, i'm pretty sure she would of mentioned some driveability problems lol. Pretty sure it'd just be a hose, or maybe even a clamp thats just wore out.. I'd do a pressure test on it and see where the leak is.

    Mine blew pretty bad... and all I had was "disappearing" coolant and it'd overheat when sitting in traffic, and a lil puff of white smoke when you first start it up... but man when they pressurized the system, that thing was smokin' like hell.... Bah, I hate blowing head gaskets lol, such a pain in the ass.

    yes, yes.... does suck... but its a good excuse to get port/polish, valvejobs new valves, valve springs, the worx. im sure she should look in to that, or just get a race head.

    Its prolly just the thermastat, but I dought its a BHG!!

    Check all your hose's, and check you radiator cap, if its bad then it will spill out when you shut it off!

    She might need a water pump, radiator cap, and thermastat...not sure about the pump though but it might be good to replace just in case.and if you do replace it, go with the 97-98 style!


    Also, check on a T67 turbo kit, with a 3500 stall and you should be good to go then!

    my reply is late as hell, but i was thinking the same thing hyper50. a burst hose was one problem i had to deal with on my car. it was a bitch though, cause it was so close to where the water pump is situated i thought that my water pump had took a crap. thank god it was only a hose. but i'm still going to replace the water pump soon, just to be safe.

    I was thinkign the same thing.. I can hear it drip and its smokes until it stops dripping... I just cant seem to find out where.. I have school in the AM but when I get back it looks like I will be working on it.. Im determined to find the problem and since the car is where it is.. a water pump prolly would be a good investment on my part

    yeah, it's recommended to replace water pumps every 90k. and for me i dont know if the last owner bothered to do that with my car so i personally feel better replacing it, that way i have one less part to worry about replacing.
