blown head gasket??

i know my car leaks oil pretty good, about a week and a half ago i put in a quart, and then i checked it yesterday and the oil was at the full level but now i had less coolant then i did before, ive only had this Z for about 2 weeks so i dont know how quickly it loses oil, etc, i dont know alot about engine work on these, is that probably a blown head gasket??? anyhelp is appreciated

loosen the oil drain plug and see if coolant comes out after the car has been sitting for a while. undo the oil fill cap and look for a white gooey substance on the underside of the cap. look at your coolant, see if it looks like there is oil floating on top of it.

good luck.

Check to see if there is foam in the radiator. That is one sign of a blown head gasket.
