If a car has a blown head gasket, would water in the system cause the same effects?

If a car has a blown head gasket and the antifreeze, is mixing with the oil ... you get white smoke, discolored antifreeze in the reservoir, and a milky white goope in the motor oil ... RIGHT??



My question is ... if an owner springs a leak in the cooling system and has been filling the cooling system with straight water, and had an oil change in the process ... will that water cause the same effect as the antifreeze? White smoke? milky residue? discolored coolent?If a car has a blown head gasket, would water in the system cause the same effects?Probably. But the most obvious effect of a blown head gasket will be overtemperature and a loss of coolant, as hot combustion gases leak into the cooling system. Also, coolant will seep into the cylinder during the intake stroke, causing vast amounts of white smoke.

Yes =^ )

yeah, it will. It will also overheat faster
yes it will as any water mixed with oil will turn the oil milky.
