    Default Cracked head? 5L vp

    hey guys, i recently noticed my car using a shit ton of water and running very sluggish. but not to long ago i noticed i have a exhaust leak from cylinder 1. i also have a little leak further down the exhaust, in the middle of the car, and it seems water is dripping out of it. the car is also on gas. is it possible it could be a cracked head and leaking water out the jackets or condensation?(bad spelling) the car was pretty warm when i noticed it dripping.

    Unusual for them to crack heads but it's not unheard of. Blown head gaskit is more common. I'd be trying to diagnose it a little more precisely first before ripping a head off though.

    Certainly sounds like water getting into your exhaust somehow...Not impossible I guess...
