2002 rendezvous how to replace the headgasket need to replace the headgasket blowing coolant from between the block and head

Thats sounds like a blown headgasket or a crack in the water jacket of the engine block or cylinder head one way to trace is to monitor if you need to top up the cooling system more than you needed to in the past

headgasket blown, these engine our will known for bad headgaskets, est $800.00 repair

if you are loosing coolant and there is no leak outside or inside(heater core)then the vehicle is burning the coolant(possibly slowly)that you don`t see it being burnt.have a headgasket test performed it sounds like a head gasket problem or maybe even a cracked head or block.

if it continues to do this while you drive, it is a sign of water/coolant in the exhaust due to a cracked head, block or most likely headgasket going out. Deal with this immediately before you need a whole new motor...

Because your head gasket is shot, and needs to be replaced ASAP before you blow the engine.

To pin point a blowing headgasket you will need
1)coolant system compression tester
or
2)chemical reaction test for combustion test gas
If it's the org. engine from 1994,with over 150,000 then blown headgasket is a good possiblity.
Tow it to the shop and let the pro to do the coolant pressure test and combustion gas test.
A full head gasket job with head re-surface (if it can be re-use) is worth it.
Shop around on well estiblished independent shops.

It sounds like the headgasket needs to be replaced. Please be sure to have the mechanic who replaces the head gasket also change the oil immediately before starting the car. If you have anti-freeze in the oil, it could blow the engine later on down the road!

You have a blown head gasket. Have a compression teat done and it will confirm this. good luck.

you have either cracked the block cracked the heads or taken out the headgaskets. this can be an expensive fix to do it right you will need to rebuild or replace the engine.

Stage one of a blown head gasket is a pin hole leak. As time goes by the hole(s) get bigger.
I will start traking the coolant lost and oil lose.
From the time you stop your engine to the next morning,there can be slow leakage between the coolant passage and the cyclinder end of the head gasket.
This is one possiblilty of lots of white smoke in AM.
Small amount is normal but large amount of smoke is a call for a professional check up.
