Son was driving, said car instantly got hot and quit running.I noticed head bolt on front drivers side was loose and leaking water. cleaned plugs and tight head bolt,water still blows from spark plug hole when plug is out. I can hear compression leaking over to radiator water tank. probably head gasket and or crack. It looks like motor would still start with 3 cly working?
