Needs Help!!! Overheating and coolant reservoir overflowing

Dapat meron water ang engine oil. Then don't start the engine anymore.

A crack in your cylinder head gasket will be the culprit. If no white smoke emits, have your thermostat valve checked if stuck up by coolant/water corrosion.

t, you'll notice excessive amount of play dun sa part na may spring. Usually corroded na din yung spring. If that happens, the cap would not be able to hold pressure anymore, resulting to overflow ng coolant/water sa reservoir. Anyway rad caps are quite cheap. You can get a federal mogul cap at around 120php or less.

Another tell-tale sign of blown head gasket is a greasy feel sa rubber seals ng rad cap mo. Youll notice na parang may grasa sa paligid ng rad cap. Thats engine oil seeping thru the blown head gasket

it's SOP to check cylinder for warping once na nagbaklas ka. since nag overheat na yung oto ni TS...chances are warped na iyon.

mas maganda na nga pa reface na for sure ako 1.2k ang binayad ko sa machine shop baka mas mura dito sa manila.baka nga nasa 1k lang.
tutal naka baklas na mag palit kana din ng valve seal..

Any mechanic from taguig who can check my injured car, parked at mckinley hill, fb, taguig city?

Your radiator might be clogged. Or your thermostat valve might be stucked up. Overhaul/ replace radiator. Clean/replace thermostat valve.
