Nissan Cylinder Head & Valve Cover Gaskets FAQ
What are the Signs My Nissan Head Gasket Has Blown?
A Check Engine light on the dash, white smoke in the exhaust, bubbling radiator and coolant reservoirs, low coolant levels without an obvious leak (or because of oil and/or coolant leaking from the gasket itself), white motor oil, and a loss of engine power. In such cases, you should shut down your engine, run a full inspection, and do a cooling system test to help rule out problems with things like the radiator and water pump. Important: don't try to release any pressure from the gasket.
