13 sonic LTZ coolant loss

[kyleanderson1992]

I have a 13 LTZ with the 1.4. I have had a continuous coolant loss and smoke from the tail pipe. I have replaced the head gasket along with timing chain. I have rechecked the block with a block tester and it has passed but I'm still losing coolant out the back. I looked at the turbo when I did the head gasket and I did not see a crack along the wastegate. But I did find I have cylinders two and three spark plugs fouling out with coolant. Do I really have another bad head gasket or could I maybe have a bad turbo? When I bought the car, I was told the turbo was newer but I also do get a intermittent PO299. I have done all the typical 1.4 repairs like the water outlet and intake manifold and valve cover.

Did you check if the head was damaged? If you put a new head gasket and your still getting water in something might possibly be warped or cracked .

I did a visual inspection and also performed a block test before removing the head. I did not see any damage but I did not use a straight edge to verify if it was warped or not. I have since put a few thousand miles on it since replacing the head gasket and have re-block tested it twice both cold and hot and it passed
