Step 3.
Check for cylinder head gasket leaking.
To check for compression gasket leakage, remove the coolant filler
cap and operate the engine. A steady flow of gases from the
coolant filler indicates either a cylinder head gasket is damaged or
the cylinder head is cracked. Remove the cylinder head and replace
the gaskets or cylinder head. Refer to paragraph 3-34.
