This girl I know has been losing anti-freeze at a pretty good clip in her 1996 Ford Explorer. No leaks at all. When she starts it and its cold the white smoke wafts ut of her tail pipe every so often.
So she is def. sucking in antifreeze into the combustion chamber, but my question is: Is this occuring through a intake manifold or the head gaskets?
I don't have the time or inclination to play with this for her and her mechanic said he can't tell untill he pressure tests the system. But, if it is a bad head gasket at that point she probably buying the job.
It is 4.0 v6 pushrod engine with 4wd and only 65,000 miles.
Any great mechanics or Ford gurus chime in
HEAD GASKET OR INTAKE MANIFOLD
and why you think so.
Tiffani thanks in you in advance for your input.
