Can a leaking head gasket cause the car to throw rod?

A leaking head gasket can lead to a number of problems, including:

* Engine overheating

* Coolant leaks

* Oil leaks

* Compression loss

* Engine misfires

If the leaking head gasket is not repaired, it can eventually cause the engine to throw a rod. This is because the excessive pressure in the engine can cause the connecting rods to bend or break.

If you think your car may have a leaking head gasket, it is important to have it inspected by a mechanic. The mechanic can diagnose the problem and recommend the best course of action.
