With the EVO being my first Turbo car I have been doing an exstensive amout of research trying to learn everything that I can but the one thing I really haven't seen talked about very much is what signs will you see when you have a blown headgasket or one leaking. What should you look for? I check my oil everytime I fill my car up just to be sure everything looks normal but I don't know what is beyond normal. Are there kits you can buy to test your oil to see if you have antifreeze mixed with it? If I were to have a problem I would just want to catch ASAP instead of letting it go so I wanted to ask here.

Thanks in advance!

 

If you have a blown head gasket you will know it.

Lots of white smoke from the tail pipe. Anti-freeze in the oil. You will usually see seepage coming out from the bottom of the head and your car will be running like crap if it even runs at all.

If its a very small breach in the gasket you will have eratic idle more than likley a cylinder miss fire due to loss of compression and it will progressivly get worse.
