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.
