I had a leak in one of my coolant hoses and I know it got pretty hot on the guage, fixed that but now it still takes water, I cant find anywhere that it leaks. Not to mention it KINDA runs different, just a little bit rough and i have to fill the radiator alot. Anyway, i stopped driving it and was wondering what you guys thought, can you tell if its the ehad gasket without tearing into it?

compression check

And you might just pull the plugs if the cylinder is getting too much water the plug will be fouled if it is still firing it will look like it it WAY lean on the bad cylinder.

does your oil dip stick look like a milkshake? This might sound dumb but are your also adding 50% antifreeze to your h2o. antifreeze also raises your boiling point.

yea my Luv is doing the exacted same thing but it past smog with flying colors and its not smoking I have to add water and it runs Rough

my oil is clean, well at least from water but last night i looked at it while running when i first started it up. there is a hairline crack on the exhaust manifold with water coming out of it. So i think ima go pull the head off now and see what i see

head gasket was good, well no breaks anyway. i talked to a guy and work and told me to look at each spark plug and the shitiest looking one there should be a crack in the head. does this sound right?

He could be. The g180 head is not the best and cracks often. You may have to get it pressure tested to find the problem.
