Not very far. Even a few blocks could overheat the engine until it dies and needs a complete overhaul.

no you should not drive with a blown headgasket, water is now in the oil and will ruin the bearings etc.
Why is there oil in the water pump?
possible blown head gasket
Can you still drive your car if the water pump is bad?
You can not, and should not drive a car that has a bad water pump. The water pump pumps coolant through the engine. You engine will overheat and die without a functioning water pump.
Other than blown head gasket and bad water pump what would make water pour out of the side of the engine on a 98 sunfire 2.2?

What causes a 2001 cadillac deville to boil water?
bad water pump, low coolant, blown headgaskets, if the car has been overheated, there is a good chance the head gaskets are blown
I have water leaking from around the water pump on your 95 astro does it have to be replaced or are there gaskets you need to check?
Check the water pump drive shaft. If water is leaking from the hole beneath the drive, it's definitely a bad water pump seal and you can't repair them.
What is happening when engine coolant disappears from container?
Either you have a leak at the reservoir, or someplace else in your cooling system. You may also have a bad water pump that is leaking. And lastly you may have a blown head gasket that can be very serious. Find this leak ASAP. If you find you have a blown head gasket, stop driving the vehicle until it is repaired. Serious engine damage will occur if you continue to drive it.Either you have a leak at the reservoir, or someplace else in your cooling system. You may also have a bad water pump that is leaking.

You had to drive your car after the water had drained out of the radiator due to a bad water pump you had to drive like this for 10 minutes before you could pull over. What damage was likely to occur.?
If vehicle did not overheat - no damage If it did overheat anything to a bad thermostat to a blown headgasket to a warped head or cracked block Good luck

Can you drive your 99 Saturn SL2 with a bad water pump?
Definitely not recommended...your engine depends on this pump to circulate cooling water to remove heat. Without it, heat builds and the car will overheat, and may cause permanent, expensive damage to the engine. the question is how much fluid do you lose on your drive as well as do you mind putting water or coolant in the car everytime you crank it up, if its a short drive and you have spare jugs of coolant or water then go ahead, BUT you should NOT do this longer than you have to (til you can get it fixed) bad pump = loss of coolant = overheating = blown head gasket = $800 and up fix
