Sounds like you need to have a mechanic check it out. There are more than a couple other -- MUCH SIMPLER - things that could be at fault over the head gasket so be careful taking repair advice from that person in the future.

Just to be sure, my point was don't go with the head gasket failure and run with it. On most, if not all cars, that's a major repair. Plus, with the symptoms you describe as well as what you're not seeing, it doesn't sound like a head gasket failure.
