When my wife was driving there was no real sound and the car just started steaming massively from the engine. The car sat for a while and I finally put water in the radiator and saw it was leaking. I made sure to fill the radiator and reservoir and tried to start the car and it would not start. I replaced the radiator and the car starts just fine and sounds okay. No misfires and seems to run fine. But, now there is heavy White smoke coming from the tail pipe when cold or warm. After some time it is overheating and the radiator fluid is low or gone. The reservoir is at the same level though
Thought she could have blown the head gasket but,
I do not see bubbles or exhaust gas in my radiator.
There is not coolant flowing out of my coolant reservoir.
There is no white milky substance in my engine oil or around my oil cap.
There is no loss of power.
Engine is overheating after some time.
I am not a mechanic. What else could it be? Is there a easy way to test as money for a shop is not something we can afford right now.
I would be super grateful for any advice/help.
