Re: Blown head gasket? A little bit of condensation can form on your cap causing this. Wipe it off and try again. Happens to cars that sit for long periods. Do you smell coolant in the exhaust at all? I doubt you have a blown head gasket. Would be obvious foamy sludge on the dipstick.

Blown head gasket? OK here is the deal....to make a long story short..... I got coolant in the oil when I took off my heads.. I changed the oil and I'm sure that there was coolant in there from the swap... but now I either have a blown head gasket or I just cant get all the water out of the oil.... I have a white film on the oil cap but I don't see any obvious traces on the dipstick..... If I had a blown gasket would the car run hot?

Re: Blown head gasket? no foamy sludge on the dipstick but if i take off the cap and whipe it off it comes back every time... and when i start the car i get a puff of white smoke.. like i said though... it doesnt run hot...
