My theory. Some exhaust gasses cavitating pump when engine slowed to idle after running (heater in car does not blow hot air during this time but works normal when temp is normal?????) Suspect slight leak in head gasket. Oh, I do see vapor out the right side after everything is warmed up and shouldn't be any condensation in exhaust. Sorry so long, bout don't have any hair left. What do you think? Am I way offline.


Stop theorizing and guessing. Just get a Block Tester with Liquid Test Dye and you'll know within 5 minutes if the coolant portion of your head gaskets are really blown or not. You can find these for purchase or rental at certain parts stores. It's highly accurate, and it's easier and faster than any of the methods given above for testing this part of the head gasket.

Autozone has this one that works great:

The Block Tester is $25

OEM Part# 27145





The Test Dye is $8

OEM Part# 25739
