I had my share of blown headgaskets. Since Brian does not know when and how
whatever happened, one sure way to tell if it is the gasket is to look at
the oil and the coolant. If the gasket went, there will be oil in the
coolant (scum in the reservoir)and/or water in the oil (milky looking scum
on the dipstick).
Not always. I have had head gaskets blown where there was NO cross
contamination or even loss of either fluid. It's possible for a gasket
to simply blow out between adjacent cylinders!
