- 93 XLT
I'm very grateful to have found this forum and talk to many wonderful people on this site, and I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me out again... I'm not too much of a car guy, but I try to live and learn, and learn from my own experiences.
I have a 1993 Ford Explorer XLT and I don't know what really happened.
I hope its not a blown head gasket, but can some1 inform me on what the deal is?
Some Info:
This car was given to me from my father, so im not too sure of the specs, new parts, or what not.
anyways the story was, i went to change my oil, like i normally do and i found all this orange junk all under the hood. i talked to my dad about it and he told me that i was driving with no coolant or water in the radiator, funny thing is, the temperature didn't show that the truck was overheating, so i thought everything was fine.
for about a week everything was running smooth and until last night, i started to smell something sweet and i heard some bubbling coming from the passenger side (kinda near the glove department)
i pulled over, checked under the hood, and again, i found orange coolant everywhere after i cleaned it the first time.
so what i would like to know, is what could be the problem?
blow head gasket? water pump? radiator? anything?
