Pull out the oil dipstick, if it has a chocolate milk-like consistency to it that would show that coolant has leaked into your oil and would be a pretty good indication that your head gasket has gone. Other symptoms are white smoke from the exhaust, loosing coolant with no apparent leak, a white foamy substance on the underside of the oil fill cap, & air bubbles escaping from the radiator with the cap off engine running. A compression test will verify this.
What else can I help you with?
