Another Nightmare begins. So i just got back from driving my 91 talon Turbo. Over all driving time was about 30mins or so. No crazy Racing or anything like that. I did hit a snowbank. Not hard just some snow in the grill. From a failed drift attempt. While pulling the car in the drive way, in reverse i noticed my engine temp was reaching the red zone almost. So i shut of the car right away.
Popped the hood and the reservoir was just boiling. Coolant dripping on the floor. Hoses to hot to hold on to. I figured maybe the hose came loose. Everything was tight though. I searched around for a bit coolant seemed to be coming out one of the reservoir hoses *Picture bellow. Out of the bigger one. It was dripping badly more like pouring out. Yet the reservoir was full. So im lost please help. I dont know if the pictures will help at all.
Guesses:
-Busted Water pump (Doubt it its new)
-Low oil (Checked before i left couldnt be that) i checked it before taking of and it was still in between the marks
Blocked of radiator (Due to snowbank maybe? Shouldnt that help cooling it though)
How could i tell if the head perhaps is toast now or bottom end. Probably let it cool down and see if it will start?
Sorry for the novel i wrote. Any input would be appreciated. As well as what i should do to further diagnose this nightmare project i consider it now.
