There are several different signs of a blown head gasket. Not all of these symptoms are exclusive to a blown head gasket and you should have the engine and coolant systems check to confirm the exact problem. If you have any of the following problems, get it checked out. Is there oil in your coolant? Look at the overflow container and see if there is a thin layer of water on top. Check your oil...is it cloudy or milky? Look at the oil cap for similar discoloring. Are you going through a lot of coolant and can find no leaks in the system? Is the car emitting white smoke?
