I was driving along one day and my car overheated. I took the cap of the radiator there was no antifreeze so I filled it and went a mile and stopped again it leaked out and I couldn't find the leak , I took the spark plugs out and found they were flooded, that's when I found the leak, antifreeze had leaked into my engine . I had it towed and fixed for $900 since I was 800 miles from home I hit the highway. As I rolled into my home town off the highway I lost my oil pressure and the engine at a cost of $3000 Canadian , so look on top of your engine if you see oil or antifreeze in and along the sides of the intake manifold CHANGE THE GASKETS there leaking OR lose your engine, if it leaks, antifreeze will destroy your crank shaft bearings like what happened to me 800 miles from home.
