Re: Might have a blown headgasket
I forgot to mention a very strange observation. When I went to do this test and I opened the radiator cap the radiator was under pressure and coolant spilled all over the place. The car had been sitting for nearly two weeks and it was cold. What could cause the coolant to get pressurized and stay pressurized inside the cooling system even after two weeks? Also, if there is a head gasket leak why didn't the coolant eventually seep into the combustion chamber over a two week period? I kept the fluid in the tester and looked at it the other day again and now it looks more blue than it does green so I'm questioning whether or not the test was really a positive.
