How long does it take to burn off coolant in exhaust?
It may take a few days to a week to burn off all this fluid out of the exhaust. One of the quickest ways to burn off all the coolant quicker is to hold the throttle at about 2000 rpms when in park for about 10 to 15 minutes.
Can a blown head gasket be caused by antifreeze?
The antifreeze fluid will be able to find its way through the crack and then circulate with the oil. This will spell major trouble for the engine. As noted above, oil mixing with antifreeze can also indicate a blown head gasket so consider other symptoms as well.
What are the symptoms of a blown head gasket?
3 Symptoms of a Blown Cylinder Head Gasket 1 Antifreeze & Oil Mixture A blown cylinder head gasket can cause oil to mix with the antifreeze fluid. 2 Engine Overheating If the coolant is leaked into the oil, then it won’t be able to do its job properly of cooling down the engine’s components. 3 Poor Engine Performance
How does antifreeze get into the intake chambers?
The only two possible ways that antifreeze will make its way into those chambers on its own is a ‘blown’ head gasket or intake manifold gasket. All that means is that one of those gaskets are damaged or worn in a specific location.
What causes white smoke after a head gasket repair?
After the repairs to the engine are made to fix the leaking head gaskets the engine can then be started. Once started the exhaust heat will now start to burn off the coolant and water that was pushed into the exhaust system. When this fluid is heated it will come out the exhaust as white smoke or steam.

What happens when a head gasket fails on an engine?
If the head gasket fails between an oil gallery and a water passage it will allow the engine oil and coolant to mix. This will result in contaminated oil (the white milky sludge or “milk shake” associated with a blown head gasket) and a compromise the cooling system.
Why is antifreeze coming out of the muffler?
What is the easiest way to fix antifreeze coming out of your muffler? It could very well be to install a new engine. The problem you have is a blown head gasket, or possibly a warped/cracked head. In either case it requires at least a new head gasket, which is buried deep inside the engine.
