Thread: Blown Head Gasket?

The water pump spins any time the belt is.

And the diagnosis sounds more accurate than your assumption.

Do a leak down test and a cooling system pressure test. Don't make assumptions.

I have no access to either of those tools. I also lack an air compressor. I would have to go to a garage again. I'm out of money right now. This really sucks!

I don't understand how air could get into a pressurized system through the coolant elbow! Is that possible?
