Engine Mechanical problem
1986 Chevy Camaro V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic n/a miles

car overheated a while back when i was in the mountains, i had no other way of getting back to town besides driving it, so i kept putting water in it and drove it back, water seemed to be leaking, but could not find a leak, no water in oil, got back home and could not work on it right away, waited till after winter, now i tune it up, got it working, went to fill the radiator and water comes out of the sides of the engine, both sides, at the seam of the engine, no water in the oil still, do you think i have a blown head gasket???

HI there,

If it is leaking from where the head and the block join, you will have a gasket and /or a head problem.
