Best Answer

Symptoms are: Loss of coolant with no apparent leak. White smoke from the exhaust especially at start up. Engine overheating. A white or grey foamy substance on the underside of the oil fill cap. Ai tubbable escaping from the radiator with cap off. A compression test will verify if you have a blown head gasket.
