How do you tell if your head gasket is blown in a 1996 Pontiac Grand Am Gt?
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.
What are signs of a blown engine vs blown head gasket?

Why is there Water in the oil pan and over heating a Pontiac Sunfire?
This sounds like a classic case of a blown head gasket. You can look for signs of leaks where the head meets the block, but the best test is a compression test. Replacing the head gasket is a fairly big job. If you decide to do it yourself, you'll want a Haynes or Chilton manual to guide you through the job. FriPilot

Signs of a blown head gasket on a outboard boat motor?
Usually a blown head gasket will allow cooling water to enter the affected cylinder. This can be detected by observing the spark plugs for water on the electrode, or a clean washed appearance. A gasket blown between cylinders, may show no sign of water, but depending on size of the engine, may be hard, or impossible to start. The quickest, and most sure way to find out, is a compression reading of all cylinders.

Can a blown head gasket make engine oil leak out?
No, head gasket work with the cooling, however it has been known to mix with the oil and make it milky, i guesss if to much mixed in the oil section then yes cause oil seal, valve cover gasket, all could fail at that point and leak but the oil you see should be white'sh brown. here are the signs of a blown head gasket back up of cooling in overflow, milky oil on dip stick, and the number one pick of signs is wet spot on block right around the head.
