    At this point I’m praying it’s just the head gasket

    Could anyone provide any advice here. My 2015 Volvo XC has milky coolant and is Misfiring - losing combustion. However, I didn’t see any smoke, nor is it leaking. Also, I have had to add additional oil recently and the low oil last has come on. Any thoughts?

      Hey! Shade tree mechanic here. I’d say a head gasket. Milky coolant means that oil is getting into coolant/water jackets and contaminating coolant. Your coolant will continue to get worse until it can no longer cool your engine. Or vice versa your oil will become so contaminated that it will not be able to properly lubricate the engine. I suggest you start looking at doing a head gasket job. Either yourself or a professional whatever you can afford.

    My Xtrail is slowly losing coolant, still drives, engine light on, diagnosed with one misfire. Could it still be block? Thank you

      Misfire is the spark plugs and the engine coil just had to replace those on a car. The coolant leak could be a head gasket or a crack

    ***Please help***
    I was hit by a 84 year old woman that ran a red light. She's lying & saying her light was green. I had a witness but unfortunately they said he was a "biased witness" so it's my word against hers. Now I only have liability so if she doesn't tell the truth or I can't get camera footage from the intersection then I'm not covered for damages😢. I can only assume she's scared she'll lose her license at her age or something but who knows 🤷. Anyways on to the part where I need your help.... So at first the car was driving okay/normal-ish. It had some cosmetic damage but overall I thought I was good. Fast forward about 3 days & I decided to run my air conditioner. At first it was fine. I came home for several hours & had to go back out to pick my child up from the bus stop & I noticed it was making a strange sound. I went ahead & took it by a shop close by & he told my my water pump belt was completely off. It was leaking radiator fluid too from the engine (not the radiator). He said it probably is cracked. He told me since it wasn't running hot or anything to go get the belt & he'd put it on so I went to Auto zone but on my way back to him it actually did start running hot. I immediately pulled over & sat for about an hour & a half letting it cool. Then I filled the radiator up & overflow tank. It started right up like normal but then it shut off . It wouldn't start back up unfortunately & it makes a semi high pitch sound when I try to crank it up. It won't start at all. I don't have any money to get a new engine or car so if it's possible can I put some stop leak in & drive it until I can't anymore & then scrap it? If I get my new water pump belt on & put stop leak in will it crank then? PLEASE HELP ME 🙏🏻. Thank you for reading this. ❤. I'm sorry it was so long. I just wanted to explain the whole picture . ❤

      Stop leak will only make things worse. It could even clog the water pump

    • @lexstolen3072

      Because all the oil leaked out at the bottom and then stalled while driving.
