7th Gen Head Gasket



1st is about 15ish mins and 2nd is 40ish. this is my second time bleeding the cooling system and had to do it again since my thermostat got air locked. even after 1+ hour of bleeding the system, it was still bubbling. would this coolant colour change indicate a faulty head gasket? should also note i smelt exhaust fumes from my rad while bleeding it.

Head gasket. Those bubbles are combustion gases leaking passed the head gasket and into the water jacket.

If you want further proof that it's a head gasket breach you can do a Block Test on it.
Easy to do, the tester tool is a free rental at parts stores and the test fluid is around $10.
Search YouTube for Block Test.
