What’s the different ways of finding out if your head gasket going or gone? I know of looking under the oil cap for what looks like baileys, is there any other ways?

Depends where its gone. Could have nothing under the oil cap ifs its gone across the cyclinder water divide. Other signs are losing water and white smoke out the back.

Why do you suspect it?
