Do I have a head gasket problem?
I was pullen my 26foot trailer with a small tractor on it and was going up the road an could smell anti freez.So when I got to where I was I checked it and it was 1.5 gallons low on coolent. So I filled it up and started home empty and went about 7 miles an by the time I got home it had all over heated out and boiled out. What do you thank it is that went bad? Any help would be nice. Thanks Joey

Can you see any leaks? Any oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil?

If you had a air lock after it was low it could over heat again and blow it all out. Look for leaks or pressure test the system and look for leaks.
