Question

ok, so i did a question about running the car without oil and i found clear green color fluid when i checked my oil rod.

This maybe possible that i blowned it, but i am still able to drive my car just fine. Is it safe to drive my car still?? i'm also not even sure if i might of blown it but i found green color fluid in my oil rod.

Answer 1

You have blown a head gasket.  I would not drive the car

until it is repaired by a qualified technician.

Answer 2

The oil system and cooling system are seperated for a reason.

If you see water/coolant on the dipstick the yes you blew the head.

You may be able to drive for a long time. It may lock up on you at any time.

Once coolant/water is in the oil you need to stop driving and get it fixed. If caught early then you may just have to machine the head flat, replace the gasket, and clean out the coolant.

If you drive for a while the coolant ruins the bottom end of the engine also. The bearings were not meant to have water on them.

Right now you may only be at hundreds of dollars to fix the problem...if the bottom end goes you may be into the thousands.
