QUESTION:
My 2000 Caddy Dts is over heating. Yes it has a blown head gasket no doubt. However I want to solve the overheating problem that blew the gasket. The car overheats in 20 minutes. The upper radiator hose has burst twice. The water pump and thermostat are both new. I don't understand why there is enough pressure to burst the hose but not not venting from the reservoir cap at 16psi. Should the cap blow first before the hose. I feel there is a blockage some where. Can anyone help me with how the coolant flows so maybe i can find the blockage if there is one.
ANSWER:
From what you have stated, the problem would be the radiator cap. The cap should open at 16 psi and since it busted a hose, it had to be over 16 psi which means the cap should have opened up to releave the pressure into the overflow tank.

I have a 2000 chevy blazer with a cooling system leak
Question:
I have a 2000 chevy blazer with a cooling system leak at the intake manifold. Could this be this be the cause of water in the oil ? there is nothing comming out of the exhaust to suggest that this is a head gasket issue.
Answer:
YES! It is very common for coolant to enter the oil system due to a failed lower intake manifold gasket.
Also you are in luck !! GM lost a lawsuit on march 20th of this year and has to pay for this repair. FULL ARTICLE. I checked and your vehicle qualifies. The forms needed are listed in the article and can be printed out. They are paying up to $800.00... worth the read!!
