yeah it doesnt always show up but its a cheaper/easier way of checking then pulling the head off.

See if you have a mileshake out of the oil pan, if not check for compression throgh the expanion tank(bubbling when revving)...if so...you blew a coolant jacket on the headgasket which would not cause a milkshake. Good luck with it.
