Engine issues water coming from where my spark plugs are.

Asked by Guru7JR3H Jun 24, 2020 at 01:28 PM about the 2007 Scion tC Base Auto

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I had a leak in my coolant coming from water pump and a bad thermostat.
My car was overheating frequently. So after I fixed what I thought could be
the problem I got the engine stop over heating, but once I turned the car off
and tried to restart it a few minutes later it would not start. The car was
turning over but just not starting. So, I had a friend come look at it with me
and we tried a lot of other things. Our one last measure we tried was we
removed the coil packs and the sparks plugs, and started to turn the car
over. This is when we saw that there was water shooting up from the engine
every time the engine cranked over. What could be the issue?

You might want to check the oil, you might find water in the oil.

I kind of guessed that what it was but I wasn't sure. Also,if there was water in the oil would that prevent the car from starting as well.

Yes when u refilled with fresh coolant it made oil capacity about 2 gallons greater. Not only filling the pan but all the way up to the bottom of the pistons.
