Re: 94 civic hatchback dx
how well will it narrow the sure thing that the head gasket is blown by doing a compession test. i mean. there are leaks. i think there is so much coolant coming back into the resosvior that it just spits out from the top of the resovior. anything else i should consider to find out exactly why there is hard core white smoke with a coolant smell? everyone thanks for the input. thank you
hope that helps. good luck.

it has too b.c i see some coolant stains around the area where the resovior cap is located. and its always over filling when i see it empty 30 mins ago. it has to go somewhere besides burning in cumbustion camber. but it could be
the coolant is not overflowing. the coolant is being burnt. the headgasket seals the head and the block together. it was lifted for some odd reason, and now the coolant that circulates through the engine is spliiting in to the combustion chamber. which gets burned as it cycles. it will continue to burn coolant, sweet smelling smoke coming out your exhaust, and the only way to stop it is to replace the headgasket with a new one.
hope that helps. good luck.
