Default Head gasket gone bad or Power steering cooler leak?

Is there any easy way to tell what kind of fluid got into my coolant? The levels are all ok and i already replaced the power steering cooler a while back. There are no other signs of a blown head gasket tho and the motor only has 20000 miles on it?

Any suggestions?

hmm mac or snap on make test kits where you take a sample of the coolant and if it turns a certain color than its a blown head gasket
