one morning like every other morning i started my car so it can warm up while i do morning routines, around 30 min. its also like 15degrees out. i get in the car and i see that my factory temp gauge is at the "H". i immediately turned off the car and i hear bubbling coming from the coolant reservoir. there is also coolant on the ground. it looked like it came from the reservoir. there was also smoke in the bay but not that much. it doesnt look like there is any coolant in the oil or vice versa. i replaced the thermostat and rad cap and still no luck. it looks like im blowing out white smoke but its probably the condensation from the cold and also i have no cat. it smells like a rich exhaust fume. there's also no milky stuff from my oil cap. the water pump isnt leaking. i think i hear a whistle coming from the pump though. i really hope its not my head gasket.
PLEASE HELP. i'm probably gonna replace the water pump. and if that fails i guess it IS the head gasket? do i have any other options?
