hmm no smoke or steam from my exhaust. can't hear the sound of runnning water but on occasions when i go to drive my car in the morning, i have no water. this due to a crapppy radiator hose and i find a big puddle under it | |

yeah pritty sure mine is the head gasket. hopefully the head isn't cracked. only recently noticed a little bit of white mayo under the rocker cover cap. and it was only losing a little bit of pressure. | |

also look for an oily slick on top of the water in your header tank, or mayo type white stuff under the oil cap. | |

another way to see if its gone is to dip the oil and see if u have tiny bubbles in it thats a sign there is water gettin into through the gasket | |
