This morning when i was driving to school i heard a strange noise coming from right behind the engine. here are the stuation details. Coolant temp: below 120 degrees. Engine RPM: 2000 - 3000. the noise sounded like water flowing but i popped the hood and nothing looked wrong. only thing is there is a little milky stuff on the oil cap and one spot on the dipstick. I am not boosted and my only mods are a K&N intake. any ideas!?!?
After about five minutes it stops making the noise.

 

I had a similar problem with my cutlass. It was a blown intake gasket (which is a common problem for my car), but with that problem, my low coolant light came on, so it may be something else. See what other people have to say.

 

Coolant level?

 

yea there are no lights on which is weird but i have never heard the noise before.

coolant looks fine.

bump someone has to know something about this!

 

don't know much about it. but i'll keep looking into it.

 

bump there has to be some one who can diagnose my problems! i need to know if i can drive home.

 

Dude its an 07! ***** under warranty. Check your oil and coolant, if its good drive it straight to the shop if your that worried. Its not like you will have to pay anything for them to look at it.

 

Dealer man.

I hate when people come on here asking what's wrong with their car. You have a warranty, use it.

 

usually the milky residue means your head gasket is done..but it may be something else?...

 

i can do that but it only happens when the engine is cold and my dealership service people are a bunch of retards (so it seems) they will just call me and say "we cant find anything wrong with it".

how can my head gasket be done it only has 9000 miles and i have never drag raced the car and only redlined once like 6 months ago

 

I've heard said sound and wonder if it has something to do with A/C or something. Unless you get a CEL or have low fluid the dealer will laugh.

 

thats a good question...its just what i heard....maybe its just bad luck of some sort if it is the head gasket..but i would say if it only has 9k on it it shouldnt be that...

 

i have only ran the A/C twice and that was three days ago

 

I would still take it in and make sure you get documentation on why it was in there. Remember, they only get three chances to fix whatever it is before they have to buy that **** back. Take it in FTMFW!

 

I'm sorry I don't know what it is. Is the car running abnormally. Cause if it isn't there is really nothing you can do. It sounded to me like it was coming from behind the glove box.

 

sounds like the start of a blown head gasket, or cracked block, the milky stuff means coolant is getting into the oil some how, I would Get it to the dealer asap, if you must drive it wich I dont, recomend Baby it

 

x2...i wouldnt chance it..so it wont get any worse....sometimes even though the car may be brand new they can always have defective parts from factory...

 

alright the dealer it is. i think i am going to put all of the stock intake parts back on so they dont be **** about it.

 

sounds like head gasket to me.... were you beating on it when it was cold??? haha

 

no i always let it warm up to about 150 before i drive it hard and i hardly beat on it
