Best Answer

Most common symptoms are thick white smoke (steam) coming out of the exhaust pipe, engine always low on coolant and/or running hot, and water in the oil (will appear on the dip stick as either "chocolate-colored" oil or water beads mixed with the oil). Another way to detect is to do a compression check on the cylinder head. The compression will be low on the cylinder(s) where the crack is located.
