WATER LEAKAGE
Water leakages from the exhaust tail pipe is not necessarily a serious matter. Condensation and the combustion of fuel produce a certain amount, and this is more noticeable before the motor reaches normal, working temperature. A; persistent loss or drip may indicate a leakage via the cylinder head gasket, or even a cracked head, or cracked valve seat. A number of cases of leakage due to cracked exhaust valve guide bores have arisen. A stud may penetrate the casing and be responsible for water leakage into the, combustion chamber or exhaust manifold. Test for compression leakage into the water system by noting whether bubbles rise to the surface of the radiator water when the motor is hand-cranked.
