You've got questions, we've got answers
Your head gasket can leak externally or internally. Either way it's a serious condition for your engine. If your head gasket is leaking externally it can be engine oil or coolant, same goes with an internal leak.
If it is an external leak it is something that can be monitored if it is a seep. An active leak will need to be addressed immediately.
An internal leak is different and should be address immediately to prevent engine damage. There are three types of internal failure. The first being the classic coolant into the cylinder and out through the exhaust. This will present as low coolant and white exhaust. The second is where your head gasket allows coolant to get into your oil system. This is probably the most damaging as it can cause damage to other engine components including your engine main bearings, rod bearings, camshaft, lifters and more. The third is a lack of compression between two cylinders, this may present as a misfire with no fluid loss.
