Thanks, for the input will try draining coolant. However I dont see it being a head gasket as im told if it is I will have oil in my coolant and the coolant is super clean. Also the car was running MINT before I parked it for 2 weeks and now its complete shit and this is really bothering me. If anyone has any other suggestions as well that would be a great help.
