How can you tell if the head gasket is blown on a 1998 Saturn and is there a chance the head gasket is blown if it keeps overheating but otherwise runs perfectly?

The easiest way to see if a head gasket is blown is to check the oil, if it is light brown and milky looking then the head gasket is blown.
My 1998 Saturn would always overheat. I had replaced the radiator twice and all of the hoses but it continued to happen. The people at Saturn did not know the problem. I brought it to a raditor place and the replaced the gauge that reads the temperature and fixed the problem. The gauge was reading at a much lower temperature than the car really was so the fan would not turn on to cool down the car causing it to overheat. This might be your problem.
There is a chemical that can be added to the coolant that will expose exhaust fumes. The head gasket may be fine, but overheating will endanger it.
overheating could also be caused by a bad engine coolant temperature sensor, or a bad thermostat, possibly even a bad PCM.

Why would the service light fuel gauge and temp gauge of a 2001 L-series Saturn go on and off while driving?
I have experienced this problem before. There is a good chance there is a Body or powertrain code stored in the computer to indicate a problem in the cluster, body control module, wiring, or combination of those. The only way to know is to get that code read. after experiencing the same problem with the fuel gage, temp gage and service light, we kept using the Saturn only to have the car not go out of park, and the door lock malfunction.Took it to Saturn dealer and diagnosed it as having the body control module replaced. to the tune of over $400.you cannot do this yourself as the module needs to be programed after installation with a special machine.

How will you know if your 1992 Cadillac eldorado is overheating?
Look at your thermometer. Or you can check for steam or smoke coming from the engine. Look and see how much coolant you have. And basically you can tell if it is overheating just by putting your hand by the engine after you drive it for a while. if it is abnormally hot, pretty good chance it is overheating.
