Signs of a blown head gasket are. Overheating, oil level overfull, white smoke from the exhaust especially at start up, loss of coolant with no apparent leak, a gray or white foamy substance on the underside of the oil fill cap, air bubbles escaping from the radiator with the engine running, and possible engine miss.
