Can I keep driving

Do not drive. Stop as soon as it’s safe to do so — don’t keep going.

What happens if you keep driving

Time you have: Minutes

The engine is already past its temperature limit. An aluminium head goes fast: first the geometry warps, then the gasket burns through.

Next comes a blown head gasket, a damaged head and, at worst, a cracked block. Shut it down and let it cool — never open the expansion tank cap while hot.

What to check on the spot

Let the engine cool — never open the expansion tank cap while hot. Then check the level and the hoses.
