Well i put more oil and coolant in, its running alittle better and the check oil light is off but its still making the bubbeling sound, so i should pressure test it and u think it may be the head gasket...?

u make no sense
ORIGINAL: nacanitihs

if ur losing coolant it coulb be a sticky thermostat and ur waterpump is pumpin it out somewhere and ur waterpump it self could be bad.. do a coolant pressure test ( i believe thats what its callaed)

and HGs sux i was losing coolant for a long time.. replaced basically everything.. thermostst, waterpump and finally it was the HG.. and the shop hit my heater core pipe when they fixed it so i had to replace that too..

Sounds like head gasket. My $.02.

Compression check after a close look at your coolant in reservior and radiator.

check oil for coolant, but oil level would be higher due to the extra coolant in the oil

i found that a had a few header bolts loose, so i tightened them up, check the exhaust 4 leaks afterwards and that checked out, i really dont have much time to work on this car or money, i have another car and feel like just switching the insurance and driving it, its jsut a big ****ing head ache i cant deal with right now, i dont feel like ripping apart the manifold again to change a head gasket

The way the engine is running reminds me of the way it did when the purge canister line that runs to the manifold disconnected. i recently had to reconnect the line again because the hose melted where it touched the nipple on the manifold,and now its running like *****. What exactly does that purge thing do, oh and also when i accel it doesnt have thatgas smell anymore, its like a burnt smell now or something
