Please dont tell me this is the 3rd car I've killed in 6 months
I get off the highway and I'm sitting at the traffic light on the exit ramp and I see steam, I look at the scan gauge and its 275wt, I shut it off, light goes green start it up, sounds like no oil for a second while starting, get over 3 lanes to the side of the road, shut it off open hood, steam is coming from under intake manifold, open oil cap, oil doesn't smell right but the level is fine, wait for it to cool down some and open radiator, not much in there so I put whats left in overflow into radiator and what I had in a bottle in the car, start it up without rad cap on and steam comes out while car is running
The car has a vvl, approx 70000 miles on engine, is it the head gasket? Or is the engine dead?
