Warning Signs to Look For
A blown head gasket is a serious engine fault, but early detection can make all the difference.

- Low engine coolant
- An illuminated engine warning light
- The temperature gauge is very high
- Engine overheating
- You're struggling to accelerate or the car runs rough
- The engine is working harder than normal
- White exhaust smoke and sweet smell in the car
- Milky oil on the dipstick
- Fluid under the engine when the car is off
Can I Drive with a Blown Head Gasket?
You should not drive if you have a blown head gasket, as your engine will lose power and your car could overheat.
Whilst you may be able to drive a short distance, you should avoid doing so as this can cause severe damage to your vehicle.
Best to have your car checked by a professional mechanic at the first sign of trouble.
