1999 PONTIAC GRAND AM SE
tech = ANY
question = MY CAR WAS OVERHEATING AS I WAS ON A SMALL TRIP SO I DROVE
IT ABOUT A HOUR WHILE OVERHEATING TOOK TO THE SHOP AND HERE MY
WARRANTY
WAS EXPIRED SO CAR HAS BEEN SITTING SINCE,IT STARTS UP BUT THERE IS
ALOT OF WHITE SMOKE WITH WATER THAT COMES OUT THE EXHAUST WHILE
RUNNING ALSO
THERE IS WATER IN THE OIL SO DID I BLOW MY ENGINE OR WHAT NEEDS TO BE
DONE THERE IS ALSO A SMELL OF SYRUP WHILE RUNNING.
JK:
Anytime you run an engine that is overheating, you will cause more damage than
just the condition that caused the overheating. This 6 cyl. engine is known for intake
manifold gaskets leaking internally/externally, and mixing with the oil as well.
It does sounds like you have major internal engine damage. Possible blown head
gaskets, cracked cylinder heads, cracked engine block, probably rod and main
bearing damage due to the coolant in the oil.
