Any thoughts on the following situation:
1998 528i, 100k miles
The vehicle began to overheat slightly. Instead of pulling over the driver (my dad) decided to continue driving. The overheating light (the red warning light) came on and then the driver continued to drive it an additional 2-3 miles.
When I saw the engine bay, antifreeze was everywhere. One of the hoses leading to the radiator was in tatters. Smoke was billowing from that area alone.
After the car cooled down, I fired it up again. It started well and idle was stable. My concern is whether either the head or block cracked or warped due to the excessive heat. Also, whether this may damage the head gasket.
Also, now, whenever the engine is stopped, it makes a funny noise, as if air is escaping and then stopped by a seal/gasket resealing. The best metaphor I can think of it a whoopi cushion. It sounds like air is escaping and then after 1-2 seconds it sounds like two pieces of rubber suctioning back together.
What should I check and/or replace? Thoughts?
