so today i went to turn my Z on and its just didnt want to turn over. i tried a few times.just didnt want to go.( my car has a problem that i know about already.it has a blown head gasket) but any way i get out of the car and look by the engine and under the car ..by the exhaust cut out were the bolts connect the exhaust pipe there was water leaking from there..like as if alot of water had came out of the headers..my question is , what damage does anybody think that might have occured to any other engine components beside the head gasket which obviously is blown already..??

Hydrolock if a TON of water was coming out, but then again...it doesn't take as much as people think...

Prolly something else, but that is worst case scenario.

If you have coolant in the cylinders, I wouldn't start the car because you will seriously damage the ring seal, cylinder walls, and bearings. If you are planning on rebuilding anyway and it is essential to just get the car on a trailer or something, then you could always pull all the plugs turn the motor over to get the majority of the water out of the cylinders, install new plugs and try to fire it up.
