Engine Cooling problem
1990 BMW 525i 6 cyl Automatic 250000 miles
Hi, I know this was probably stupid of me but I took my car to the car wash the other day and left it running while I washed it down real quick and then I started smelling a burning smell and smoke from under the hood. POpped the hood and heard a hissing noise and smoke or steam came out, not sure. started to overheat just as I turned in the driveway. Shut it off and checked all fluids later seemed fine. still over heating! looks like a busted gasket near the ignition thing in the engine, water spurting out of it as it over heats. What have I done? and sorry about the lingo I don't know much about cars. Please help!
