You may have driven into a lake!!! If not you could have several problems that would cause this type of injury to your engine. When the engine is cold and you start it up do you have air bubbles appearing in your radiator? This could indicate a blown head gasket that is leaking coolant when you shut your engine off and it cools off. Other possible causes are a crack in a head, cylinder liner or block. Did you ever overheat the engine severely? This may have caused a crack in the block or head. Remove the spark plugs after the engine has cooled and observe each cylinder If you are blowing a mist or coolant this would narrow it down to a head gasket or a head. Otherwise, you are f-----. You have a cracked block and you should bale while it didn't cost you to much. Bad JUJU!!!! There is of course the very bizarre water pump issue that allows the impeller to wear a whole in the rear cam cover and leak coolant into the block. Probably no your first choice but I have seen it. The final piece of info I can offer is to BUY A BOOK!! THERE IS SO MUCH INFO AVAILABLE TO YOU IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO INVESTIGATE!!! Hope I helped you out!! MotorDick
