2011 Prius coolant/overheating
I just was driving my 2011 Prius with 234k miles today getting on the interstate. As I hit 72 mph, my temp light came on, and then my check engine light. I pulled over quickly and turned the car off.
Coolant spewed all over the passenger side of the engine bay, ALL over the place, probably half a gallon. Gurgling back into the coolant reservoir. I'm hoping the water pump is bad, but idk. The head gasket was pressure tested yesterday for 4 hours at an auto repair shop.
The engine didn't even misfire as far as I know at that point.
Am I cooked? Well, I guess you could say is my engine cooked? I really hope not. I'm worried the head gasket popped from the heat. I pulled over and turned the car off within 8 seconds.
I got it towed to a shop, I'll know more Monday morning.
I drive probably 1k miles a week as of the last few weeks but it ends soon. did I drive the car into the ground? the EGR cooler valve has been replaced, I'm 90% sure.
