He should be able to use a chemicial tester that has a rubber cone on the end of it that goes into ur coolant bottle they put chemicials in it start the vechile if it turns a certain color then it means u have exhaust gases in ur cooling system meaning u have a bad gasket or head. Or it may just be leaking visually. Hope that answers ur question.
