Water/Coolant shooting through tail pipes.

fallstar01 · February 1st, 2006, 11:26 AM

This is unreal. My entire intercooler system's coolant has exited through my tail pipes. I'm assuming that there is a crack in the heat exchanger which is inside the intake manifold and the car is passing all of that fluid through. The car seems to be working fine but I've heard that water/coolant tends to bend valve and cause other bad issues. I've pulled the fuse on the intercooler until I fix it but I'd like to know if there are any measures I should take to make sure nothing gets messed up. The car passed quite a bit of coolant/water through it. The radiator water levels are fine so it doesn't seem to be coming from anywhere else.

the bearings would be my main concern. Like stated, pull it apart and fix it before you drive it any more.

If it got in through the intake it would not have got to any bearings.

Sounds like you have a blown intake gasket. Take a can of carberator cleaner and let your car idle spray around the intake. If it revs higher you have a bad intake gasket. If nothing happens then your best bet is to take it apart and figure out whats goin wrong.
