I have a 99 camry CE 4 cylinder. Its coolant Reservoir starts bubbling and splashing out after few miles of driving. It doesnt heat up, it drives fine. I have to keep adding coolant in reservoir cause it splashs out most of it. I checked few posts and main reasons i found was air in system or blown head gasket. I followed some tutorials and made sure there is no air in system. As for head gasket; i bought the combustion leak tester to test if head gasket is the issue. The color didnot change on the test; so head gasket seems to be fine. What else could cause this issue?

You have all the symptoms of a blown head gasket. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Should i give it a shot or have the gasket replaced?

That job will consist of a little more than just a gasket. The head will have to be sent to a machine shop and tested for cracks resurfaced. You also will need to replace the thermostat and find the problem that created the original overheating problem. The head gasket was just the result of the engine getting to hot from a different problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

But donot see them turning on while idling. I left the car running for a while on my driveway; fans didnot turn on, unless i turn on AC. Could tht be an issue? If so how can i fix it?
