Look around the head for oil leaks. If you don't see any you can place a die in the oil and see if you can find where the leak is coming from. Go to Auto Zone and ask one the employees they will help you find your problem for free. The guys at Auto Zone are awesome.

the first sign is the car will overheat. additionally, check for water on your motor oil dip-stick, this usually happens if the gasket burst on the cylinder side allowing some moisture to creep in. If the gasket burst on the outer side, you may see oil leaking from right under the gasket (where it bolts on). If the car is overheating, make sure you check the radiator hoses for leaks, thermostat (sticking?), radiator for leaks and finally, water pump for leaks) before you attribute the problem to your head gasket

The leaks around the cover is a pretty good clue. And you won't be able to keep the engine running smoothly. Stall.

Water in the Oil. Engine will run bad and you might see leakage where head meets the engine block.

Water in the oil or out the tailpipe. It will also overheat quickly.

save yourself the work and take it to a mecahnic and have them pressure test your engine. Most mechanics will do it for free with the hope you will have them fix it.
