Phroztee 0 Report post Posted March 23, 2017 (edited) Hey all, Having a fun afternoon. Was driving home this evening and just arrived home, as I was pulling home, I noticed a clinking sound, thought it was a stone rattling around, opened the bonnet and noticed the serpentine drive belt had broken, the coolant was boiling, and there was oil everwhere :(. Ive not had any issues with the car so far, the belt wasnt necessarily old. I guess im just worried i've blown the head gasket. I replaced the belt and started her up, small amount of water noticed coming out of the exhaust, and after idling and a little revs for a bit, the water boiled over. I know its all pointing to a blown head gasket, but I just wanted to know if anyone has had a similar experience, and how they went about it. Replacing the engine? Repairing the head? Any of that worth it? Thanks all! Edited November 16, 2017 by Phroztee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phroztee 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2017 Just an update, replaced the belt and all seemed ok. I have managed to locate the leak but am unsure how to go about fixing it. It looks like a plug in the engine block. Does anyone know how I can go about getting it sorted?
