Best Answer

Signs of a blown head gasket are: White smoke that has a sweet smell coming from the exhaust. Loosing coolant with no apparent leak. Coolant mixed with the oil, which will look milky. Air bubbles in the radiator when the engine is started cold with the radiator cap removed. A cooling system bleed down test will verify a blown gasket or leak. Finally a compression test will verify a blown gasket or cracked head.
