Diagnosing whether your Chrysler head gasket is failing can require some detective work. The effort is worth it, however, since a head gasket job is a major undertaking and you want to make sure you have pinpointed the cause of your Chrysler vehicle's woes. Some of the symptoms that you will notice: white smoke emitting from your tailpipe. Leaking black oil or red transmission fluids that puddle under your car. The white smoke is actually steam, coming from the coolant leaking into the cylinders and heating up. The oil might be coming from the engine that has leaked through the gaskets into the combustion chambers. Other signs: oil in the coolant fluid and coolant fluid in your oil. The "low coolant" light is constantly flashing in your car, and you are frequently refilling your coolant reservoir. In some car models, the heater might stop just before the head gasket fails. Check the radiator to see if you find bubbles in the coolant when you take off the radiator cap, while the engine is running. There are some diagnostic tests you can run with equipment you can purchase or rent. Use a leakdown tester with a compressor on your cylinders. Once a test has definitely determines that the head gasket is failing, order a new Chrysler head gasket from our site and start the arduous task. With patience and an eye for detail, you can handle the job!
