Blown Head Gasket??

[InOuterSpace]

I would like to get some confirmation that I have a blown head gasket. My girlfriend had her 96 Grand Prix breakdown on her last night. She said the the car suddenly lost all power and died, a large amount of smoke/steam was emitted from the front passenger side of the hood. When I returned to check on it today, the car will turn over but will not start, pulled a trouble code of PO300, and I believe I see coolant coming from head closest to the front left of the engine.

Thanks

Well, could be a good possibility. I would grap a drain pan and drop half a quart of oil out of the oil pan. Make sure the first bit that comes out isnt coolant. I would also pull plugs, and have a look at them, see if there are any deposits. With the plugs out, I would have a buddy crank the engine over, and check for any signs of coolant coming out from the spark plug holes. Pull the oil fill cap and have a look inside, does it look like a milkshake? Pull the Rad cap, what does it look like?

lets hope this thing hasnt been mixing coolant with oil for a while and the camshaft didnt break. if you get those plugs out mite as well check for some kind of compression
