Does this sound like I need a head gasket...?
I have a 1998 Isuzu rodeo, 4 cyl 5 spd. Been refilling the radiator with water every 20 miles or so for about two weeks, as it keeps overheating. Last two times I've tried to drive it, it wont make it even two miles before engine gets hot and I have to add water. I got home lastnight and checked for all signs of problems, which are; 1) When I fill the radiator while in idle, after it heats up water comes out the overflow. 2)while the car is in idle, water comes out the tailpipe, and am starting to see a tad bit of white smoke coming from it as well. 3)no visible leaks coming from car. 4)no water in oil, oil in water. 5) my car sounds and runs fine otherwise. The fact that there isnt the sludgy stuff mixed in oil or radiator, and that the car sounds, idles, revs up fine, makes me wonder if it really is a head gasket issue. Help...please?
