I took the car in the other day to have the water pump gasket replaced. Well, apparently the cap for the coolant reservoir wasn't put back, and it over heated on the freeway today. From the time it told me the AC was being turned off to the time I had the car pulled over and turned off, it was only about 30 seconds.
I refilled the water and tried to start it, but it won't start. I had it towed home, and see the oil is milky. Great... a blown head gasket. I will be changing it on my own, but I'm wondering if the car is "fail-safing" itself, or if it is seized. How do I tell? If it is in fact seized, will replacing the head gasket and making sure nothing is warped "unseize" it?
