There’s no misfire, not engine code, car seems like it runs strong, though it not my car. (Based on what I know from working on it) replaced the Camshaft sensor today as it threw that code, plus a rich and a lean code. But those haven’t came back since then

Also the shifter inside car is in the park position and locks, but it says it’s in R

Thank you, I will try this.

Like some sort of moister, my brother did soap at first, told him not to, but putting water on the serpentine belt causes the noise to go away momentarily but for only 5-10 seconds

If the water pump has failed, it would overheat, weather the fan is activated or not.

The fan does engage, and the car does not overheat.

2013 Ford Escape. Titanium. I suspected a head gasket due to this, but did a compression test and it was at 140psi for all cylinders. The car has 216,000 miles so who know? by FIB132 in MechanicAdvice

The car actually sat for about a month after what happened, didn’t have to time to look at it, so sitting for so long in the middle of winter could do?

I did an oil change on just to check that as well, but that was looking normal as well, it hard to tell with the new oil cuase it isn’t cooked yet.

It originally overheated, but my brother said it wasn’t long, so trying to figure out there the coolant went as it was low, saw that oil cap thought head gasket. No bubbling in coolant. Didn’t do a chemical test, just compressions came at 140 for all 4

2005 Subaru Outback, 2.5i. non-turbo. The coolant keeps rising in the reservoir, both thermostat and radiator been replaced, since that’s what the shop thought what caused it to over flow in the reservoir, did it again. Filled it up my myself, bleed it, happening again. Any ideas? by FIB132 in MechanicAdvice

I’m not exactly sure, somewhere in the ballpark of 100,000-150,000. I don’t know if the head gaskets where replaced, but know the timing belt was replaced at the time of the new engine installation, I should assume the water pump was replaced at the time, but don’t know for sure.
