yep i refilled it with oil and coolant, got it up on ramps.
it wasn't leaking anywhere, but with the radiator cap removed it was frothing alot. Also the exuast was emitting alot of white smoke that smelt bitter, it wasn't doing that before but it is now, especially if you rev it.
i remember awhile ago his dash would gurgle i shoulda picked up on that then.

I told my friend it's most likely a blown headgasket, take it to a mechanic and get them to do a BHG test to find out for sure. I said if you really have to keep driving it, at least keep the coolant and oil topped up and drive it softly.

That's a real shame becuase i helped my friend pick this car and he's only had it for 3 weeks.

looks like i'll have to help him fix it. is there an online 3sge service manual like there is for the 7mgte?
