toronto,
Hey guys was on my way to a friends highway drive about 30 mins all highway... cruising around 80 with slight bursts of acceleration to about 90 95mph tops, I get there leave the car for 5 minutes, come back outside and there is a lot of coolant running down his driveway, it all starts from the overflow/lower rad hose area.
I fill it back up, I drive it later that night no hard driving at all, and it doesnt leak one drop all night. I get back home, I decide for lack of better judgement Im gonna go drive it hard to see what happens... anyways drive the crap out of it for 10-15 mins well spirited not abused, and its fine no leaking or anything.
Anything besides Headgasket to be worried about? I'm gonna do a compression test tomorrow and see if the numbers are different then last months 155psi test.
Thanks
ps. Should have mentioned earlier, the car DID NOT overheat for 1 second it ran perfectly operational, no power loss or anything at all.
Also the engine oil still looks like brand new engine oil from the change 2 weeks ago, no mixing.
