Some (not all) coolents react with each other and cause i gel like substance to form throught the whole cooling system, flush the WHOLE system (heater core and all) with cleen water and then refil with coolent

yeah, i watched a guy pressure test my system, and he pumped up like a little rubber baloon thing round the overflow bottle.
he said it was fine, but im still not convinced. i think my wagon has cracked the head.

i think ive got a blown head gasket i had a read threw the manual for the greories bookand ive got exsesive steam when ideling when i start up(this is also happening during as hot day start up as well so it not cold morning conversation)
there no leaks in the engine bay,floor dry so there must be a internal leak some where. well ill find out today when i do a pressure test on the cooling systen and compression test on each cyclinder

hmmm,
is there a milky substance in your oil? does your temp gauge move around around alot? is your coolant disappearing with no signs of leaking? doesm your coolant smell like exhaust gas?

However if you losing coolant out the exhaust then the coolant level should be dropping. Are you constantly topping up with coolant? If the oil is milky like then this will indicate that coolant is mixing with oil. However not all head gasket failures will fail in this way. Check for coolant in the cylinders by removing the spark plugs and cranking over the engine. See if any coolant comes out.

pressure test the radiator
check your hoses pull tho lower hose off and spray water thru the radiator and see if it circulates proply put a theromostat in it flush the radiator put right mixture of coolant and water in check the heaterhosesand valves the tiniest split can cause big f**k leaks make sure the valves workin check the coolant bottle and make sure all the connectionsare secure and the overflow is not squished. check the welsh plug and see therz no leaks put new coolant cap on if u got head gasket leak it will blow the top off of the coolant bottle or/and ull have milky oil chek ur dipstick falcons r nown for havin full s**t cooling system thats sum of the s**t we gotta chek at work Chekthe b**ch s**t first b4 u get in2 the xpensive s**t |

you could also be leaking water from the head gasket being blown on the exhaust side of the block and leaking out and evaporating before you get a chance to see it.
your oil doesnt usally go milky when this happens |
