That's what I was about to ask. Without carrying out a leakdown test, compression test or checking the coolant for the presence of hydrocarbons, there's no way of establishing the integrity of the headgasket seal.

@ Coupe-boy: When you post a query, please try to help us help you, by posting as much detail as possible, and a real name will be good. Babyboy means nothing to me.

01) Model year?
02) Engine size?
03) Auto or manual?
04) Symptoms - has the car lost any noticeable performance? What is it like starting from cold
?
