Check your oil, if it looks abnormal, like chocolate milk, that means there is water in the oil, your head is cracked.
If you suspect the head and/or the block, have them "magnafuxed" by a machine shop. On the other hand, as you're pulling it apart, check the head gasket and if it's shot, there is usually only the one problem.
A cracked head could be the cause of the problem. This, along with a cracked head gasket would allow engine coolant to enter the oil supply. Coolant and oil do not mix well and over time, the oil looses its capability to lubricate. Check your oil for white spots and check your coolant reservoir for oil residue.
A machine shop may be able to repair the head but my advice is to replace a cracked head.
Most likely a cracked cylinder, a cracked block or a blown cylinder head gasket. Do a compression test. Check for other external leaks. Most likely the head will have to come off, for further investigation.
To tell if the head is cracked, you have to remove it from the car, so you will replace the head gasket, anyway. Take the head to a machine shop and have it magnafluxed to see if it's cracked.
how can you tell if the head is cracked from the exhaust side
The only fix is to replace the gaskets. Also check to make sure the head is not warped or cracked.
Some symptoms include: Cracked Head, blood, hurt hurt, death, super strength, no judgment.. Where on your head has it cracked?
Check for a cracked head or damaged head gasket. If the engine overheated at all when the reservoir was damaged, it could cause serious damage to the engine. A damaged head gasket or cracked head could cause the coolant to blow out of the cooling system even when the engine isn't very warm.
Blown head gasket, cracked head, or cracked block.
A car can be driven with a cracked head, but not very far. Once the head is cracked, the engine will start mixing oil and water and it is likely that the motor will lock up.
