Hello everyone,
Have a '97 Lexus LX450 that I've owned for a year and just joined today after hearing about this forum from my son (and having a radiator blow out).
While on my way to work today and a heard a loud pop and then a huge cloud of smoke just as I was pulling in.
Opened up the hood and all hoses were intact so poured 3 gallons in and watched it come pouring out of the top.
Did a little research and found out that this could be from a head gasket leak. Is there a way to test or examine the engine to see if the head gasket is the cause prior to fixing the radiator?
