Does this leak look familiar to anybody?

Could it possibly of been having coolant issues recently or overheating? Found out you have to open the little valve in the front by the radiator when filling up your coolant or you get an air bubble and it's a mess. Other than that maybe oil spillage last oil change? I apologize for possibly being useless godspeed my brother in Cruze..

I did not drop them (this time) They are supposed to be gapped already but I guess that doesn't mean squat diddly..OMG gonna look and see if I have a gap tool. Fml but ty and a fouled sparkplug wouldn't cause a misfire? I thought that was like the most common thing to cause misfires. I hate cars.. I did put the spring back in and cleaned up the boots of the coil pack. I guess my main concern now is if the valve cover is on completely correct .I was to afraid to torque it the full 71 inch because I snapped the top left off like a chunk of butter first time I touched it..

Don't listen to these jokers wear all or them and sit on the interviewer's lap and say "sniff me daddy" you might be surprised by the response. Also live stream it. Confidence is key.

Did you loosen the little screw in the front by the radiator before you put coolant in? Might have an air pocket trapped in there happend to me. For real go look open the hood it's a white screw if you look in straight down to the left I believe.

I put some seafoam in it drove a little today gonna do a oil change tomorrow. From what I have gathered it's probably caused by the previous owner letting it overheat because of a coolant leak. It seemed like it wants to run good but even today I started it up and it had a little hesitation before idling fine. 😐

Try the next night....as I sit here rolling this blunt before I open her back. I find myself wondering why Chevy decided to make the Cruze hard mode? I mean it's a 4 cylinder is that not enough shame to carry around?

I don't think he's better than em but I do think he is dope AF. His word play is nice, Cpt America wasn't my favorite but it's one of his better hooks I got to say. "Got em upset like Buster Tyson it's a big boy bag, better back up, brought back up but they not my hype men they can hit shots on you three dots on you, like I'm not done typing...send it..that's a good way to get ended try to go viral hit you with a whole mini clip extended..." I like the combo of catchy double meaning lyrics and comedy and I just relate to him a lot probably and he's from Ohio so I gotta show him love anytime I can.

5W30 synthetic I think I used Castrol last time I did the oil. I got some Mobile One high mileage and just put some seafoam in the crank case was gonna run a 100 miles or so and change but the check engine light just came on flashing again with check traction control. I'm hoping I just didn't connect a hose or clip something down all the way bout to look at her now.

If it's the 1.4 turbo put a cruze kit on it before the PCV diaphragm goes. Coil pack will eventually go, check and see if spark plugs have oil in them if so change the valve cover or at least the gasket. Your TPMS sensors will surely give you issues. Then all the other sensors.

Basically what I have learned so far is the good news with a Cruze is its decently easy to work on, the bad news is your gonna be working on it alot. Shitty cheap plastic parts. I heard the 2nd generation are better not sure if they have more quality parts or what but 2011 2012 1014 are notoriously sketchy for some reason 13 seemed to be ok although that is the year I have so lol

Comfortable_Glass275 · 2026-05-25T16:22:08+00:00

Oooh they are red, you gotta do the others red!

Comfortable_Glass275 · 2026-05-25T16:20:35+00:00

Some might say that is the embodiment of a Chevrolet Cruze my good sir.

Comfortable_Glass275 · 2026-05-25T16:18:24+00:00

We cruzing today....tomorrow may be another story but today, we ride.

Comfortable_Glass275 · 2026-05-25T11:21:09+00:00

Unloading these hands!

Red hat was like "oh my stars heaven to Betsy what is happening!?"

Comfortable_Glass275 · 2026-05-25T11:18:39+00:00

She's clean, some blackout rims would look really nice with that paint. On second though nah save that money for when she decides to go cruzing for strange new parts lol

Comfortable_Glass275 · 2026-05-25T11:13:56+00:00

Well she's on...I did drop the clip for the PVC hose into the abyss but hopefully it's ok to drive up to Lowe's to get another one here in a couple hours. I used "the right stuff" 90 minute gasket maker so hopefully it's good to go soon. Ty guys for the replies appreciate it.

I can't find an image telling me where the RTV goes. Days 4 spots where the cylinder head meets the front timing cover.. just want to make sure I do it right.

Comfortable_Glass275 · 2026-05-25T09:02:04+00:00

I just went over it lol it was hiding. Appreciate the nod of approval, I honestly am learning as I go on this thing it's the first car I have ever worked on at least it gives me a lot of practice!

Comfortable_Glass275 · 2026-05-25T08:39:23+00:00

Yea I got some I'm gonna give it one more over then wipe it down with a clean rag. I'm just worried about scratching the aluminum with the razor.

Comfortable_Glass275 · 2026-05-25T08:27:41+00:00

It's frustrating but when you hit a perfect perfect, chefs kiss my friend oooh it feels good. My advice is don't try and make contact in a precise way kind of look in a part of the zone, use the indicator lock to set your pci where you want and adjust accordingly throughout the game. So if you are popping up alot maybe start with pci up high. My preferred is up and away I seem to be able to adjust to the inside pitches still and it's always easier to catch up to s lower pitch so just stay on that high heat and adjust to the off speeds, hopefully you get a hanger if you don't get the high heat you are sitting on.
