My truck is burning antifreeze??

Question

its going through antifreeze like crazy. its burning it out the passenger tail pipe. and its over heating and loosing oil pressure when im stopped. do yall think its a blown head gasket or what?

Answer 1

ah its just a blown head gasket...easy repair

if you have some mechanical ability

good luck

Answer 2

Blown head gasket or cracked block. There are some cars with plastic intake manifolds that theoretically could do that with a cracked manifold, but very unlikely.

Answer 3

By this time it is probably a dead engine!

Once you got to the losing oil pressure stage, the crank is shot.

Time for a new one.

Answer 4

Either the gasket or a cracked head or cylinder.

Answer 5

o ya definately its a blown head gasket

Answer 6

buy gasket repair

Answer 7

You are going to have a lot more problems if you keep driving it. ( if you don't already) aluminum heads don't like to get overheated when they are sitting on top of cast iron blocks You probably have a bad head gasket. Water and oil don't mix. Stop driving it

Answer 8

had a cracked head do that to me before the crack was next to the exhaust valve and the white steam just poured out like a bad head gasket

Answer 9

Yes.

You need to do a compression test on the motor to make sure.

Do you have any water in the oil? If so it will be milky. If no oil in the water, or water in the oil, you may try K&W Block seal. I have seen this stuff fix them and last a long while. YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE BOTTLE. Oreilly Auto Parts carries this product.

Answer 10

If you have overheated the motor. Your done. If it is aluminum head and or block, your really done. Intake leak or head gasket on passenger side, but now I am sure it is cracked head and warped deck.

Take it in and get ready to eat some cash.

Never drive a overheating vehicle that loses oil pressure. Burned Crank and Cam.  Unless you have synthetic oil in it.

Answer 11

i'm definately going to agree with everyone else, blown head gasket.  it should be a pretty easy fix, depending on what engine you have.  hopefully you haven't been driving it too long in this conditoion, its bad to drive with low oil pressure, that can s***w things up, hopefully you're fine, good luck

Answer 12

+1 for nick & rudy

Answer 13
