Hi there,
Just needed some advice.Basically i bought a new air filter for my vtr.The air filter was not connected properly and fell off whilst i was driving.The air filter was touching the fan.As i parked up there was loads of water dripping from under my car.The water from the radiator was leaking alot and the fan was not spinning and the motor was stinking a burnt smell.
Also my tempreture gauge was showing over half way touching full.
If i just go and buy a new fan and replace it would i have to replace anything else?What else could have been damaged?Someone told me that i could have blown my head casket?

Much appreciated!

yes you may have blown teh headgasket if it was allowed to over heat, you may also have warped the head. Thats worst case senario though. Sounds pretty bad though if you managed to boil the water enough for it to escape or is the radiator actually leaking?
