hmm... how do you diagnose blown head gasket? the car is running just fine. no weird noises, idles perfect, does not overheat, etc.

If it is just plain water, then there is nothing to worry about, it is just a product of the combustion process. If you blew a head gasket, I'm sure you would be able to tell by the way the car ran and you would probably get a little smokeshow coming out the tailpipes.
