Hello everyone,
It's me again. I think my head gasket is starting to fail at 203,000 km on my AFN engine. The only thing I've noticed is a slight coolant leak. Over 1000 km, it's maybe only 5 mm in the coolant reservoir. When the car has been driven for a while (50 km), if I open the coolant reservoir cap, there's a brief hiss and a little water spurts out. Is that normal? I would expect a little pressure when the water is hot. The water isn't discolored, and it doesn't smell like exhaust. Also, I don't see any white smoke when I start the car.
Do I now potentially have a cylinder head gasket (ZKD) failure or a leak somewhere? I apparently couldn't detect any leaks.
Are there any reliable tests to determine this?
Greetings.
