Well, Pieter, how good are you with a compression tester? Are you familiar with doing a compression check? Those are some "symptoms" of a blown head gasket. If you're not currently driving it, then don't start. You RISK further engine damage. Because if engine coolant is leaking into a cylinder and you try to start the car with the uncompressible, noncombustible fluid in there, serious damage (bent valves, bent rod, cracked piston, broken rings--you get the picture. If you're familiar with the troubleshooting and repair of a head gasket (cracked or warped head, are also possibilities) then dig in. If not, get it to your favorite repair shop. It won't be cheap (mainly labor prices).

Hello beachcomer, thanx for your information. I think i get as soon as possible to my repair shop, because i won't have a damaged engine! Maybe I will let them check the compression first, so in order to know if the head gasket is a gonner!
