well not to long ago, i got in a little accident and drove my car for 5min with little or no coolant. The temp never even went close to the hot it went about 3/4to the top.
Well today i noticed that my radiator light came on so i checked my reservoir and it was empty. Then i saw coolant on the head which is leaking from my valve cover along with oil. So i checked my oil and there was coolant inside.
Now my question is how long can i drive like this before getting it changed? What can happen it i don't get it changed soon(well it hurt the turbo because it's oil cooled? the weird thing is the car isn't smoking at all, which is why i think it's not the head gasket??? no white smoke !!this is on a rebuilt motor with less than 13000km on it
