Exhaust & Radiator Problems

[sheamanecw]

I have a 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse 2.0 non-turbo. My radiator is leaking anti-freeze. I believe the radiator is leaking into the exhaust. My radiator takes about 3 or 4 days to drain completely. When I gas my car up smoke comes out. The smoke is whiteish (not black) so I pretty sure that’s were my antifreeze is going. My radiator fans work fine; I had the radiator fan motor replaced a year ago. Also, sometimes when I gas my car I heard a slight bubbling sound like water is boiling out somewhere. Also, I use 1/4 antifreeze and 3/4 water, I am pretty sure this is not why my radiator is leaking but I just put it up here just in case. Any suggestions on what could be wrong. Thanks

My guess is the head gasket.


There is really no other way for your coolant to get into the exhaust. If you were talking about a turbo car....the turbo could possible leak coolant into the exhaust....but not on a NT.

Blown head gasket.
