- Hot to check a head gasket for leaks and failures. What are some symptoms of a leaking head gasket? How to perform a head gasket test. Will head gasket cause smoke? Today I have a Chevy s10 in the shop with oil and coolant mixing, white smoke, and overheating. We do a fast and easy head gasket leak test.

Hope you guys have notifications on!!! TH-cam seems to get doing a worse job of notifications than ever!
Also up date on this job. I will be fixing the truck. Parts are ordered. Let's hope there is no cylinder head damage
I blurted out Chevy when you showed us the cup
@@Nipplator99999999999 HAHAHA NAILED IT!
@@HumbleMechanic I owned some LT1 350s and Chevy loves reverse water jackets that seem to bottleneck at either head gaskets or intake seal/bypass.
Pretty common issue with old 2.2
That's awesome Charles! Can't wait to see. My A4 had a blown cylinder head gasket and it was burning coolant, but no coolant in the oil. If you removed the coolant reservoir cap after driving it would start with no issue, but if you left it in place the left center and rear cylinders would fill with enough coolant to stop the starter from cranking the engine easily. Full top end tear down and the heads and block appear to be within spec. The gasket was an mls type with a black sealing surface that failed $150k on the engine. It's on the reassemble side of the project. I've got some great pics if you have a place to share them.
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard and they’re like “it’s definitely a head gasket issue, bro “
Hahahhahahahha
🤣
😂😂😂😂
Thank you for not doing what 98% of leaking head gasket Chevy S-10 owners do where they pour in sealer, and thickener, etc. and they put it up for sale, changing the engine oil before selling it, and telling people, “I’ve never pulled it apart for a problem” or “I haven’t had any problems with it, so far.”
I'm excited to see the repair video and am reminded... I need to order some car parts.
You're so kind to explain all the checks for damaged engine...that's very cool!! Thanks about! Try also another way, try to explain that this you have now as a fault in the engine can be avoided and what people have to do when something goes wrong.
There are many, many people which do not know how much important is the cooling system, the oil system in every engine.
Sweet video!! I own 1998 chevy s10 and blazer!! Both are v6 motors! Well over 200k original miles. Still going. Well cared for!
Good job and excellent video footage. Well done mate!
Looking forward to seeing the repair
I'd really like seeing you changing the head geasket on this car Charles, mostly because i think youy can explain what you are doing and giving some background info along the way very well.
love your channel for vw stuff but this was cool too, thanks so much for your hard work!
Oh keep these videos coming. Interesting interesting stuff thanks dude
As always great video!! Charles keep up the good work!!
thank you!
Tomorrow on Humble Mechanic...we swap an LS into an s10.
Yes. My 92 mk3 GTi have done like 350K KM's now, it have been sweating oil for a while now, and it is not on the original gasket. Oil and coolant looks nice so I am not in a rush. I have gotten all the parts and tools, and even another head that have been machined, but it have been scratched because the guy I boght it from kept it on the garage floor. Just never seem to get the time, and I suck at mechanical stuff
I don’t necessarily disagree with the other shop saying it’s a “bad engine”. No shop owners want to say: “hey, it’s going to be another $500 or $700 to tear this down just to find out what the real deal is”. Plus, the age. Too many variables and most big shops will say it needs an engine. Technically it doesn’t but it may be almost better putting a known good salvage one in a car this age. Good video, as always!
I had recently found that milky, watery substance under the oil filler cap and dipstick and figured it was just condensation since I've only driven the car short distances, keeping it under 20 miles a week this winter, a few days ago I had the oil changed and used motor flush to clean out the engine. So far the oil has remained clean and normal and the car runs good with no over heating or emitting any white smoke. But it does consume a lot of coolant and the fluid inside the radiator appears dirty and oily despite having changed it 6 months ago.
I had to do this to my son’s 2001 S-10 with the big 4.3. He didn’t have a blown head gasket, had a burnt exhaust valve on #4. That generation of S-10’s were good vehicles. My son’s truck went 262k miles before he sold it.
Why doesn't Charles get more views than this? He deserves more views and subscribers
Thank you! I think the biggest thing is I’m mostly vw stuff. That’s limiting. But I super appreciate y’all sharing the show!
That's damn' right! I had to check, I thought he was at over 1M subs, but no. He surely deserves the 1M+ subs!
Charles, thank you for this nice and, in my opinion, quite thorough tutorial! Keep up the good work!
@@HumbleMechanic honestly I don’t even like Volkswagen I love your channel though!
@@HumbleMechanic For me personally it seems there has not been a focus on youtube, until lately, and has had fewer posts unlike your other social media (I like every video I watch). I am an older viewer where instagram, twitter and facebook and whatever else is out there are not my goto educational
Bringing out mostly VW (VAG) related video's shouldn't really be a hold back, here in Europe truckload after truckload of VAG related cars are sold every month.
Beeing able to understand English on the other hand, that sometimes can be a problem for some people in some country's.
similar diagnosis on a jeep that I purchased from a friend revealed a cracked head instead of a gasket. I ended up replacing the whole engine since it'd been running for about a year while losing coolant and the bottom end was most likely toast too.
I'd like to see a teardown and full diagnosis video on this too in typical humble mechanic style. Keep up the good work.
:) parts are on the way :)
That was straightforward. My daughter blew a head cylinder on her 2004 vw passat 1.8t. I took the head cylinder into an automotive machinist; he shaved it to ten thousands of an inch; slapped it back on ( big job ). Runs great, no smoke, no external leaks, or milky oil on dipstick, and radiator fluid looks good. Just takes forever to start after sitting for awhile. Oil was on spark plugs. So, I took off the valve cover again and replaced the spark plug oil seals ( didn't use RTV on them ), and saw light brown on the inside of one side of the valve cover. Unfortunately I slap the valve cover back on runs great all that but same issue...any thoughts and suggestions would be much appreciated.
I had a s-10 on bags B N’ the D it blew head gaskets yearly. After the second time I just put in a short block. Chevy had a hell of a time with the first round of dexcool
I had a warped head/blown gasket on my 1995 Z28. The Service Advisor at my Chev dealer suggested I change the gasket and sell the car. I wasn’t going to do that. . . not my style to sell something “not right”. . . so I had the engine rebuilt at a friend’s shop. . . and they “put some goodies” on it. This was in 2000. I drove it another 15 years. That shop does computers for Audis, Porches and such. Tapp Auto in Ottawa. You may have dealt with them.
I may or may not have a bad habit of pulling the parts Canon out. Lol never heard that saying. I like it!
"This is not a weird looking Volkswagon" ....I wasn't prepared to hear that 🤣🤣🤣
Almost spilt my coffee.
HAHAHA
Def do the video, I love vw but am a fan of seeing repair videos. As my vw 92 cabriolet just came back from paint and now it does not start 😞. Will have to check details as to why it doesn’t start, it used to start up once the key was turned. All of a sudden, now it doesn’t. Strange I would say
Got an 03 blazer with 4.3 blown motor due to deathkill antifreeze. Intake gasket went bad let coolant into oil. Then the driver overhead engine and blew head gasket. Replaced entire engine from an 06 silverrado. Replaced all gaskets before install, replaced radiator, flushed and filled back up with green antifreeze. No more problems. I would never use deathkill antifreeze in any of my vehicles. Also made sure to use metal intake gaskets, the orginal ones were plastic (junk).
THIS IS PERFECT! I am diagnosing my sister in laws car to see if it has a blown head gasket (Subaru with 100K plus miles sooo very likely) Thank you!
Nice. Buckle up for the Subaru jokes. Lol
If its not a failing head-gasket its not a Subaru, 'ba dum tss'
Has perfect AWD performance, but uses the mechanics lift more.
Bro that's a Subaru thing you wouldn't understand
@@abbsgarage.9676 Dude, I'm a MOPAR muscle guy, I break more idling than you would on a hard track day.
I had a 4 cylinder Nissan Frontier that had either a bad head gasket or a cracked head...some of the symptoms I noticed were 1) detonation 2) when I shut it off, coolant would shoot into the overflow under heavy pressure (I could hear it bubbling like a cauldron). When I pulled the spark plugs, cylinders 2/3 didn't want to come out---there was hardened green chunks of coolant on the ends of the plugs
Now I want a Frosty. Thanks Charles!
will you dip fries in it?
@@HumbleMechanic Absolutely!!! :D
My car have a blown up head. Lol i got the notification right on time. Few videos back to back thanks humblemechanic 👨🔧
sorry your car is broken
My tiguan have a small leak but I have to take it in soon. I cant seem to find VW or Audi enthusiast mechanics in NYC. I wish paul opens up a shop here. He will get a ton of customers. I would drive to NC if I could but im afraid my car would give up on me.
My Dad's Buick Regal with the 3.1 V-6 blew a head gasket. He looked in the rear view mirror and said it looked like the Space Shuttle taking off. Betcha this truck did the same!
That's so crazy I was just texting somebody they were telling me the symptoms and I said your car might have a blown head gasket as soon as I said blown head gasket this video popped up 😵
SPOOKY!!!!
Haha, I saw 50+ of your videos but I wasn't subscribed. Good job man, we love vw for what it was. Thx.
thank you
Head gasket is super easy on these. Good ol' pushrods
That milkshake don't bring the boys to the yard. Thanks for the info. I was wondering what the oil looked like when the gasket goes. Now I know my 87 Cabrio doesn't have a bad gasket.
The bigger 4.3L engine on that came with the s10 (GM vehicles of that era) had leaky intake gaskets, which if they were bad enough they would make milkshakes
My 92 S10 4.3 liter cracked the block at around 120k miles because I didn't have enough antifreeze in it. Once it warmed up, it would push coolant into the oil. So I removed the thermostat, which solved the problem, and drove it for another 100k miles.
That “grunge” on the radiator cap!
I suspect someone tried to use a coolant sealer like k-seal it has the same color
My 1997 Pontiac Sunfire Coupe with the OHV engine, which I believe is the same engine featured is showing minor signs of a leaking head gasket. Its the best car you could ever imagine. Been nearly 30 years with it. When it does start to fail more I'll definitely repair it. I have no coolant or oil mixing any where and the oil comes out looking good. The car has 132,000km on it and runs unfathomably well. Head gasket will eventually fail worse. I think I have many many many thousand kilometers before it really fails.
More than lightly a head gasket issue. But what do you think on the possibility of it being an egr cooler issue?
Cracked me up when he was like "oh yeah" thats the milkshake
Add some coolant additive first and see if that works
You must check the vw amarok 2022 prototype
I had leaking gasket. no milkshake, no loss of oil or coolant. just pressure in cooling system with a hint of exhaust gasses (took a while for indicator liquid to change color).
Was there a vid of head gasket replacement done
Thank you!!!”
I have a 89 Crown Vic LTD, we seen that milkshake & smoke was coming out the exhaust. It was droven without antifreeze
I have a 2017 Jeep Wrangler. Oil changes are up to date. Driving, the Jeep overheated. Pulled over, had towed to Pep Boys. When they used the tester on my vehicle, a blue turned to a brown color. They said it's a blown head gasket. Only has 78k mi. I had it towed to a Jeep mechanic... hasn't looked at it yet but says he doubts if its a blown head gasket. I'll find out Monday. Just wondering why color turned brown instead of staying blue, yellow... green?
would the old school vacumm gauge work?
Do you have plans for a video on diagnosing and changing the VW TDI oil coolers?
If someone brings me one might
can you also tel me how to notice when your timing chain needs a replace?
my vw touran 1.6 FSI 2004 with 197.xxx KM on it makes somes times with a cold start a sound thats sounds like a lose chain but its like only 2 out 10 times on a cold start. VW FSI's ( for touran then) need every 10 year a new chain. this one is 16 years old.. cant find in the papers if it already been replaced.
also a video about doing a chaine replacesment XD only done belt's in my life
great video again love your videos!
Sounds like your timing chain or maybe timing chain tensioner
The coolant may not be as bad as you're thinking, its definitely contaminated but it may be DexCool orange coolant, or green coolant mixed with the DexCool that was still in the block. Don't remember off hand what these trucks should have come with.
Possible. It shouldn’t have the floaters though lol
@@HumbleMechanic Need to flush those little buggers, gosh thats a horrible joke lol.
Looks like someone attempted a sealant probably kseal
I use those block testers on every overheated car at work, great tool!
Me too, but with any car coming in with a coolant evaluation
please help me.i have a 2001 grand cherokee4.0l. i just put in a rebuilt tranny.now i find im losing coolant without any signs of leaking.if the car is sitting cool and i fill my overflow bottle up is there any reason i should lose coolant overnight? i have a new bottle so i know it cant be leaking. the last thing i need is a blown headgasket.
I have a bubble in the serve coolant box
And high level.
What can failure?
Subaru 2002 impreza
I have a some coolant disappearing when I go for long drives but no overheating and no white smoke nothing on the oil cap no bubbles in the radiator and the oil looks fine it's a 2006 civic si any idea what I should look at?
OK so I have a Nissan Pathfinder, 2006 2.5dci. NO oil in coolant and NO coolant in oil. BUT I have lots of pressure in radiator, and white smoke, sounds rough too. I did a chemical test and the liquid turned yellow from blue within a few mins. Head Gasket?
You can take the radiator cap off when the car is hot. Just make sure to use a piece of cloth and turn slowly. The pressure will release and you'll live another day :)
😂 ppl don’t know this
I would like to see a video on the aftermath and if it is decided to fix or replace the engine, maybe you can show us???
Speaking for myself, I would like to see this video.
Yep parts are on the way!
@@HumbleMechanic if I can post a gif or a meme on how excited I am I would. But take my word I am excited.
Iv had a blown gasket for 3 years.just changed oil every 6 months when any signs of milky in oil dipstick.i only drive it about 4k miles a year runaround city car
Another potential sign of a blown head gasket is having coolant pushed out of the reservoir.
My 2002 civic failed this way - the combustion chamber blew to the water jacket and forced all the coolant out.
Should you lightly oil your head gasket at install to get a better seal?
Ive never seen a repair manual call for that
I'll buy the truck I miss my s10
What if there's not milky oil or white smoke ?
more vids on american cars plz
If the customer doesn't want to spend any money try one of those liquid headgasket sealers and see how well it works :D
IDK. Depends how long the engine was run with coolant in the oil. Have done a few head gaskets with coolant in the oil and they came back with a rod knock a short while later.
anything is possible
Ethylene glycol eats babbit.
Hi I have a question My cars gauge goes really high and I believe its overheating .I place some Radiator Coolant to the Reservior .Then after that it drains my Fluids I put in the Reservior .I already replace the Thermostat in my Car . And still the temperature still going high and I run my OBD reader 2 and it finds a P0115 which is Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit . I bought a new Temperature Sensor but still its leaking fluids in the Reservior tje temperature gauge go higher . A good advice would be beneficial for me .
Please explain what combustion gas or oil in your cooling system indicates... And where does the combustion gas enter the cooling system anyways...
Typically a leaking headgasket is the cause
Now that is a Peanut-butter Milkshake.
mmmm nice oil :D
Wait Charles and Chevy??? For a second I thought I am watching video from South Main Auto. :-)
When will you do the haldex teardown and rebuild? Nothing on youtube.
Soon! I ordered some rear control arms but they are back ordered.
I have to finish this S10 head gasket (what the heck) then the whole rear is coming out the R.
That job will down the lift for a while so I need everything dialed in first
@@HumbleMechanic awesome!!
thank you for the video, I have some froth/bubbles when opening radiator cap, and i have coolant disappearing But no milky oil and no smoke. Can it be head gasket failure.
Yes. Dried out or weathered head gasket can result with that issue
My favorite, the chocolate milkshake $$
Science: you can't mix oil and water
Chevy: hold my head gaskets
I send my mk4 2.3 to a shop to get the clutch and timing chain replaced. After I got it back it was running well. 4-5 days I didnt drive it and went out on a rainy day it started having play/waves in the throttle keeping 1.200-1.400rpm but it fixed after about an hour or two.(might be a separate problem) however I had some burning smell come from the left air vent next to the rpm meter. I got really worried it smelled like burned cable so I took it back to the shop and it stopped having the problem(they just did a quick diagnostic /trottle body error). It still has a very very light smell of burned wire/cable but doesnt smoke and runs well. They just took out the engine changed the chain and clutch and put it back in. Do you have any idea what the problem might be? Its a mk4 agz
Thank you in advance anyone who read the comment.
In my 12 years working on Audis and VWs, I've only seen a single case of leaking head gasket...
It's the one thing they managed to get right.
Yep one of the lowest failure rates. I’ve seen a few but not many.
I had a blown head gasket on a 1984 Rabbit Diesel. My 1967 Type 3 never blew a head gasket.
My first car, a 1999 Golf 4 1.6 SR, had a failing head gasket. Sadly I didn't fix it in time and severe damage was done. Would have to have swapped the engine, instead I just bought a new Golf :)
@@Blakackmann I have the same engine in my mk4 Jetta, and no engine issues yet.
The only issue I've had was a leaking oil pressure switch.
@@panzerveps I've had a miriad of issues with the engine. I bought the car used from a teenager who "modified" it and drove it like a madman. There was basically no service history at 170k km. I'm not saying the engine is bad, just mine was after what it got put through.
I had a 97 chevy s10 4 cylinder. What a huge piece of sh. I had the exact same problem as in this video. Thought as you did, blown head gasket. Upon teardown found a cracked combustion chamber wall. These trucks are badly underpowered with this engine, and they aren't very good engines either. My truck also had to have a transmission rebuild at 50k miles.
Caution on the leak detector. A negative doesn’t always mean there is no head gasket problem. A positive almost always means a head gasket problem. 😁
Sounds like the shop probably got it right. A bad head gasket or cracked head along with toasted bearings due to coolant in the oil. If I was quoting this job for a customer I don't think I'd want to stand behind a head gasket on this truck with the lower end possibly damaged. Needs the pan pulled and bearings inspected.
Maybe. But they didn’t do any testing according to the paperwork.
@@HumbleMechanic Since it's a family member it's probably worth dropping the pan and inspecting some bearings.
I could use some advice, please.
My car is NOT overheating.
NO dash lights are on.
There's brown sludge in my coolant tank, oily residue. Coolant is very low. Just added 50/50 two months ago- wasn't an issue, just hadn't been done or checked in awhile.
Car is running fine.
I've gotten quotes for a radiator flush, and radiator/hoses/fan shroud replacement. Went to have it flushed, and they wouldn't touch it.
1. Could it be an issue within just the radiator?
2. What are the odds it's nothing to do with the head? It really looks like oil, not transmission fluid.
3. Is replacing the fan shroud even necessary?
4. Recommended course of action?
It's my only mode of transportation, and I'm tired of everyone just trying to make a buck off me.
I think you need to find a different shop who can diagnose properly, and you will have to pay for their time to diagnose it. As Charles said, it could be a variety of things. But if your vehicle is old and the fluid has never been changed, it’s going to look like crap. And lack of maintenance over time can cause the rad to deteriorate which will also contaminate coolant. Best of luck.
If your shroud isn’t cracked or broken and properly secured, I don’t see why it needs replacing.
Guys, this is why you do not let these overheat.
That and dexcool kills these en masse
i can see why they recommended an engine, with that nasty oil they're afraid the engine will eat the bearings and the customer will have them on the hook for the repairs to the bottom end
With the oil looking like a milkshake there has been water in the crank case yeah it would be foolish to just do a head gasket and expect it to not throw a rod not too long after then get mad at it and say it's a fucking Chevy and throw a temper tantrum lol I've seen guys do this. With vehicles that were abused. I'm an s10 guy have a 92 s10 that finally failed smog with 235k miles on it (I beat the hell out of it when I bought it with 160k miles on it) and a 02 Chevy blazer Xtreme with 48k miles in it.
$1700 Milkshake? Head gasket? Oil cooler seal? I’ve got a doozy...any help would be appreciated. 2013 GLI 2.0 turbo. CBFA engine family. 84,320 miles. coolant leak residue down the front of the block and oil pan. No codes, car runs great to limiter. No overheating. OE water pump and intake. Warranty turbo.
Took car in to dealer thinking warranty water pump. An hour later, dealer calls and says not water pump but it’s a oil cooler seal and needs 3 flushes, oil change, coolant temp sensor and alignment. $1700....I don’t see many oil cooler seal videos. Is this a thing? Is it a DIY job? Not a fan of having to go to this particular dealer...
Hey does anyone recall the website he has mentioned a few times for used VW parts (recently)? Thank you in advance
ShopDAP.com
If it was the Vortec V6 in these trucks and the Blazer, it almost always is the Low Intake Manifold Gasket. They all WILL fail. Ask me how I know...
Please show how to do the colour test for a vw because these kits wont work for vw that has no radiator cap. Kits for vw are expensive (eg a wurth kit)
You do it the same way in the coolant bottle
@@HumbleMechanic awesome, thanks!
okay, lets say you have a VolksWagen....the head gasket is most definitely leaking. Is it better to continue adding distilled water rather than also using coolant? In my own theory it would burn off rather than gunk up like coolant in oil. I would replace the head gasket in a day but I do not have the space currently and I want to keep the 2.0 running for now at least to drive around town, because my MK4 really needs a VR6 but that is another deal
Yeah I mean if you have to. Nice yellow Miata!
@@HumbleMechanic thanks! I appreciate the response. On a 1-10 scale, complexity of VR6 Swap in MK4?
Please do repair!! 😀
I am. The parts are on the way.
HumbleMechanic awesome!!
"Diagnostic Dice" wow, I am so guilty of this...
Been down that road with one of those. Intake gaskets are junk.
LS swap it or take the long road of a VR6 swap
I like VR6 swapping things
Is the reservoir bubbling/boiling? Don't have $$ for a proper head gasket repair ? Your old radiator developed a leak due to exhaust gases? I replaced the failed rad with a " Towing rated radiator " ( more cooling ). I removed the thermostat. I left the reservoir's cap loose so gases can escape. You lose some mpg & CEL will appear on your dash. But the car will not overheat/bubble out coolant. Do save $ money to get another car. If your car is on the following list, and you are told it's a bad head gasket, don't waste $ fixing it.

Depending on the engine model it could be a intake gasket not a head gasket. 3.8 gm engines are bad for intake coolant leaks into the oil.
Would the intake gasket allow that much coolant into the oil?
@@HumbleMechanic yes on the gm 3.8 it will but it takes more time to do it than a bad head gasket would mine was that bad but I let mine go a little to long but I did fix it and I'm still driving the car 230,000 miles.
Please make volvo s80 T6 head gasket change tutorial 🤦🏻♂️
Who doesn’t like a milkshake?
Look for the nice side. Your car gives you free dark chocolate milk shake.
Hahahah
If that had a 4.3 V6 (not the 2.2 I4 it actually has) and still running dex-cool, then the intake manifold gasket would be the main suspect if the gas test had been negative. Common GM failure of that era.
