Cooling water leaking
I drove the car fast at about 140 and 150 kph for 30 minutes. When I parked the car, I saw water flowing on the road under the engine area. It felt sticky. It appears my water plugs are gone but then why the water is a bit sticky as if with engine oil. Please advise/comment - thank you
First off why were you driving so fast??? Can you explain the water plugs?? If the water has a bit of oil in it then most likely you blew your head gasket. That's a gonna be a costly repair if you can't do it yourself.
Antifreeze is sticky. I think he is talking about the freeze plugs, which leads me to believe the engine over heated. Get those put back in and check your radiator for oil spots floating around the cap. Then do a compression & leakdown check if you think it might be the head gasket.
Whats 140 kph in mph, about 85? I drive that fast all the time to and from work.
But yea the easiest thing to do to found the problem is a compression test, get under the car and see if you can see the leak. Or just take it to a shop and have them check it out.
