Check your oil and see if theres any coolant in with it.

Soundslike your head gasket is gone. Alot of times you get water in the oil as well but not everytime. But if you dont have water in the oil the gasket could have just blown between a water jacket and a cylinder. one of my gaskets are gone too so I'm in the same boat.

Let the air out of the tires, might help. Thats what I do whenever I need to be under the hood

I gotta give kudo's for this one. It's so simple, and yet, I haven't thought about that option before.

Check your intake manifold for leaks too. I've seen an instance where the intake gasket is blown on the back and I just watched coolant leak onto the bell housing. Not pretty. Not fun to replace either. Good luck.

well i am trying the easy way out, i got this head gasket sealer fluid from a parts store , my uncle he is a mechanic and said he tried it on his blazer and its been workin fine , but you have to follow the instructions to the T so i have to start it let it run for 15 minutes then 20 then let it cool for the night ... wish me luck
