Engine Mechanical problem
1998 Mitsubishi Galant 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive 179974 miles

I just bought my first car, and the girl I bought It from had it sitting in her back yard for 2-4 munths.when I got it home I cranked it up and revved the engine and a lot of water came gushing out of the exust .I revved it a few more times and it stopped after about 10 minits.the next day I cranked it again and it did it again.could this be a major problem?

Sounds like possible blown headgasket, cracked head or block intake leak-Get it block and pressure tested to find out where its leaking
