hi all.
i was driving down the motorway earlier today on the way to my last job at work, pulled up and parallel parked and after about 5 seconds of idle it started to steam and hiss coming from the front left headlight (if you are looking from inside the car.) not large amounts but enough. then after about 10 seconds it stopped fully.
my coolant is full and the radiator and all the pipes seem fine ? i dont know what it could be ?
one of my friends told me it could be the thermo stat letting too much water into the system and could possibly blow the head gasket ? is this true ?
would appreciate any help thanks guys
