I HAVE A 1998 CDX NUBIRA WAGON AND LAST SUNDAY SHE GOT SICK ON MY GARAGE. AFTER A 200 MILE TRIP THAT DAY, WHEN I PARKED ON MY GARAGE SHE START TO SMOKE WITH A SMELL OF COOLANT. I SAID " THAT IS A COOLING HOSE THAT BROKE" BUT FOR MY SURPRISE WHEN I OPEN THE HOOD I SAW OIL DROPPING DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I CHECK THE OIL LEVEL AND IT WAS DRY. I CHECK THE COOLANT CAN AND APPEARS TO BE A CHOCOLATE MIX READY FOR VANILLA ICE CREAM
MY MECHANIC DROP BY AND TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE HEAD GASKET WAS FRIED AND FOR THAT REASON THE MOTOR STARTS TO MIX WATER WITH OIL
I GOT VERY LUCKY BECAUSE IT WAS NOT PISTONS OR MAJOR MOTOR DAMAGE BECAUSE NO WATER WAS IN THE MOTOR VICEVERSA THE OIL WAS ON THE RADIATOR AND COOLANT CAN. SO I NEED ALL THE HELP THAT YOU GUYS CAN GIVE ME. I NEED TO KNOW WHERE I CAN FIND THE BEST PRICES FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR MY NUBIRA. I NEED CYLINDER HEAD GASKET, WATER PUMP, CAMSENSOR, ADMISION AND EXHAUST GASKET, WATER OUTLET GASKET, TIMING BELT, VALVE COVER GASKET, CAM SEALS,OIL CAP RING AND O RINGS FOR THE VALVE COVER SCREWS. SOMEBODY HAS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE???
