Suzuki Swift gti , possible head gasket ?

[Aleksa]

Hello 🙂
This is the story: From time to time I see a wet spot behind the exhaust on the concrete when idling for longer periods, and when someone is revving the engine i see droplets of water from the tail pipe, a few times there was white smoke coming out (when hot, not at startups) and a misfire on cyl #4, and I’ve had to add water to the system from time to time….
I believe that it is the headgasket but wouldn’t it be more often that i see those symptoms?
Also how to determine if its a head gasket or a cracked head without taking it apart?
I bought this car close to a year ago and Im not happy with thats going on :((

you do get condensation out the tailpipe on all cars,some after idling will have quite a bit of water coming out the tailpipe.
Head gasket failure can have quite different symptoms depending on where the gasket failed.
Try this link good info on head gaskets..
