My car I assume has a blown head gasket. I started noticing the coolant disapearing from the radiator, I just kept filling it and driving, then one day I noticed coolant in the oil. I imediately stopped driving the car. The engine runs fine and starts right up and it sounds fine. Can I just replace the head gasket and be ok? Or do I have a cracked block or warped or cracked heads? What is the easiest and cheapest way that will be done correctly to get my car running again?

Hi there,
You will have to get the head checked for cracks, warpage and have it surfaced at a minimum, to not do this is just asking for more trouble and expense.
