hi
So i went to europe on friday night, after 850 miles (and a lap of the ring in middle o journey), about a mile from destination temp gauge went up. Stopped on side of road, opened a bonnet and found water bursting from damaged top radiator hose, switched engine off when gauge was 2/3 up. Should I be worry about head gasket?. I temporary fixed a leak, engine sounded good but I was driving only a mile to get to my parents house (engine was still cold).
cheers
Les

Fill it up and bleed run till fans come on turn off,when cold check level,if temp goes up while driving investigate before proceeding
