Checking for a Head Gasket Leak with a Spill-Free Funnel

These funnels are usually readily available at your local parts store, or several places online. They may be called a "Spill-Free Funnel", "No-Spill Funnel", "Radiator Funnel", "Coolant funnel", or something else along those lines depending on brand. I have used and been happy with both the Lisle and the OEM Tools funnels. Be sure to get the clear version.
I figured this out after I kept getting air in my heater cirw. I keep bleeding it out with this funnel and never could get the heater to work very good. Then I noticed every couple of minutes there were some bubbles coming up but I wasn't having to add coolant. I figured it was a head gasket kwak, especially since there were no external coolant leaks, and that I had recently replaced the water pump that had been leaking and caused the engine to overheat. I then did chemical combustion gas leak detection test which confirmed my suspicion. But my first and really only indicator was poor heat because of all that air pushed through the leaky head gasket was getting trapped in the heater core. This was ib a 2004 mitsubishi eclipse with a 2.4L 4 cylinder.
Pull out.the relay to the fuses for fuel no start cold cranks and then try this guys move tnx for sharing , as my heat does work
I'm having the issue where my coolant in the Burp kit overflows and gets too hot I'm wondering if something is blocking the water from circulating throughout the system. I have an Infiniti FX35.
Bad waterpump?
Maybe bad thermostat ? Cheaper than pump, & easier.
I just replaced radiator, I find out in mrng
What was the outcome? is there any other type of leak that could give the same symptoms?
Because the truck ran so well despite the leak, the owner decided to let it roll for the time being without repairing it.
As far as the bubbles without a drop in coolant level like I showed in the video, as far as I've ever seen, the only cause of this is a combustion leak; that is, a blown head gasket, a cracked head, or a cracked block. Perhaps, hypothetically, it could have other causes on certain engine designs. For instance if an engine has an internally leaking EGR cooler and a clogged catalytic converter causing excessive exhaust backpressure, I suppose that could, (again hypothetically) show similar signs. But it's not something I expect to ever see in real life.
Do you have a problem you're trying to get to the bottom of?
@@TheAntarcticEmperor No, I just work on my own cars and like to learn about diagnostic and repairs. Sometimes I'll help friends and family with car porblems but only help, not do all the work since I'm not a mechanic. Thanks for videos and detailed response!
If coolant is leaking out from the housing, then air can seep in from there also. Probably not a gasket.
What if car running at engine temperature open oil cap and.oil.starts bursting out is that normal
@@trapps75 probably! Lmao never open any cap with the engine running, everything is pressurized on an engine
@@chromecatfishcharters8765 it happened to Nissan Sentra I done it to my Toyota Corolla and nothing happened there saying piston rings are bad I see Chris Fixx open oil cap up no oil coming out he tells you to open it
Is it only ford products that have such bad gasternumics issues,(air in coolant) ?
Ha, not even close. Can happen to any engine. I just happened to be working on a Ford when I wanted to make this video.
This seems like a prime candidate for one of those head gasket leak fixer bottles of liquid glass
@@Ayn-Rand-Is-Deadwhat does brick it mean ? Bout to buy that k seal
Thats ford for ya .
Throw some k seal in that thing. Bet it'll fix that mild leak.
