Various signs, bubbles coming up in the radiator or blown radiator from over-pressure, misfires, coolant loss, white smoke out the tail pipe, light foamy colored oil or yellowish gunk on oil cap.

All sysmtoms may or may not be present, a compression test or a dye added to the cooling system can help confirm .
