Well, I just built an Engine for a friend of mine about 2 weeks ago. He gave me a call sunday night saything that he has alot of steam coming from under the Hood, I Asked where was it coming from and he said its coming from the back part of the motor. I asked have you driven the car anymore since you noticed this, He said that he was on the road right now driving the car, When the temps start to Climb, he turns the car off and coastes for a little and then starts it back up. (10 Miles), He drove it over to my house and I go outside and its streaming its ever living ass off. I pop the hood and I look behind the motor and the small 90 Degree hose that connects to the tube that goes around the motor under the head and to the back of the head split in half.
Well, We went to toyota and Bought the Small hose ($17.00) and went back to my place and put it on. We fill the radiator up and start the car to make sure its not leaking, After about 3 minutes of Idle, I noticed that there is a small brown foam like stuff coming out of the radiator but not to the point where its coming out, (Kinda just sitting there on top of the water in the Neck) Im wondering since he Drove the car for that Distance and it steaming like that (Assuming no water) what damage would he might have done? It started up fine and Idles fine, its just the small amount of brown colored foam that worries me.
Thanks All
Robert
