Suspecting a blown head gasket or internal engine damage? Our CO test in cooling system quickly and accurately detects combustion gases leaking into the coolant—a telltale sign of head gasket failure. At CarB, we use professional-grade test kits and skilled diagnosis to protect your engine from further damage and help you make informed repair decisions.
Head Gasket Leak Detection
A failing head gasket allows exhaust gases to leak into the cooling system, disrupting temperature control and potentially causing overheating or coolant overflow. Our head gasket leak detection service uses a combustion leak tester to identify invisible issues before they become catastrophic.
Using a special chemical that changes color in the presence of CO₂, we test the air above the coolant reservoir or radiator. If CO₂ is detected, it means exhaust gases are entering the system—often from a cracked cylinder head or damaged gasket.
Coolant Contamination Check
When combustion gases mix with coolant, it leads to coolant contamination. This can cause:
- Bubbling or foam in the reservoir
- Rapid coolant loss
- Pressure build-up in the radiator
- Sweet smell or discolored fluid
Our coolant contamination check identifies signs of oil or gas leaks in the coolant, allowing us to recommend precise solutions, such as head gasket replacement, cylinder head machining, or engine resealing.

Engine CombustiOn Gas Test
This engine combustion gas test is vital when symptoms are unclear. For example:
- Intermittent overheating
- Mysterious coolant loss
- No visible external leaks
The radiator gas test kit we use provides fast, visible proof. In just a few minutes, we can confirm or rule out combustion gas infiltration, giving you clear answers without guesswork. This test can also verify engine integrity before buying or selling a used car.
Why It Matters
- Early detection saves your engine: A blown gasket or cracked head can cause serious damage if ignored.
- Avoid unnecessary repairs: A CO test can confirm the issue before tearing down the engine.
- Reliable diagnosis: Combustion leak testers remove the guesswork from cooling system issues.
- Prevents misdiagnosis: Separates airlock issues or thermostat faults from combustion-related failures.
Supporting Tools & Process
- Combustion leak tester: Highly sensitive to CO₂ presence, with a visible color change
- Coolant exhaust gas detection: Detects even small traces of gases without disassembling the engine
- Radiator gas test kit: Allows real-time testing from the radiator neck or overflow bottle
- Visual inspection + CO test combo: Ensures both chemical and mechanical indicators align before confirming a diagnosis
