Hi, Recently I had to refill my coolant every week. I noticed there oil/ coolant leak in my garage. The oil pan is wet and there are white smoke coming out behind the van. Is this sign a bad head gasket? Can a pour in leak sealer help me to overcome my coolant leaking problem at least temporarily? Thanks in advance for your advice

maybe but sealants tend to clog up the radiator and cause even more issues. get a shop to at least pressure test the system for you to see where the leak has started.

the smoking may be a head gasket and if it is, you may be doing even more damage to the bearings.

have it checked just to be sure.
