Leaking head gasket?

[exploder81]

Hello to everyone again. Well its time to fix another problem again lol. Maybe some input will help me diagnose since the search option isnt working for me right now. I have been filling my rad with water everytime i run my truck but there is no leak of water and the truck is starting to run a little hotter and the fan is coming on more often. Could this be an early sign.of a head gasket problem? If so is it fairly easy to replace them and maybe what kind of obsticles might i run into? Thanks in advance. :exp:

i dont know how much fluid your putting in your rad. but if it is too much you should be blowing white smoke or have water in your oil if its a head gasket. you might want to check the water pump they have a "freeze plug" in the bottom of the cast where the shaft would run through ive had that go bad and it leaked real slow for a while and then all of a sudden i was putting a gallon of fluid in it everyday.

Well i checked my oil.and it does look a little watery and i dont drive the truck everyday and have not seen any water on.the driveway and there is water coming from my exhaust when i start and run it. So maybe it is a head gasket. Im adding about a half gallon or so everytime i take it out. Thx for reply

Sounds like head gasket failure.
