How do I confirm that I need to replace my headgasket. I am slowly loosing coolant and it is not on the ground. There is white film of condensation on the bottom of my oil filler cap and my exhast is smoking a bit (more white than blue). My check engine light comes on after 30 mins of driving but the temp gauge seem to be at normal levels. It is my assumption that the head gasket is the problem, If it is something else please advise other possible problems.
Headgasket? BMW 525i 1992 M50 Engine (non Vanos)?triumph
Well, if you have overheated the car in the past then chances are good that it's your head but if you have never overheated the car and water is leaking in to the oil and pistons then chances are good that your head is fine and you just need to change the gasket. A lot of the time it's noticeable once you pull the head and the gasket off. That should tell you right away but it's not uncommon that there is nothing noticeble.
