I have a 1.8 turbo and it is either leaking anti freeze or it is using it. There is no coolant in the oil and I don't see anything on the inside of the oil cap, I have parked the car in the snow and don't see anything leaking, could it be the head gasket and blowing it out the exhaust?

Thanks

That's a good possibility do you see white smoke from pipe? If you live in cold climate it would be mush more than you normaly see?
