HELP PLEASE!!! what is it

Hey all, I am not sure what happened but here is what is going on. I have a 2000 4cyl and tonight sounds like I have no muffler a helicopter. and smoke coming from the front passenger tire. Any ideas sounds like a go cart. Not really mechanically inclined head gasket blew? I dont know any suggestions would be great thanks!!!

Re: HELP PLEASE!!! what is it

Are you seeing a check engine light? perhaps figure out whats smoking under the hood.

if you suspect a headgasket, do a compression test, or open the radiator when its cold, and start it. if coolant boils out through the rad, you have a headgasket failure. (note this is with the motor COLD, not hot)
