    Coolant in oil.
    white smoke from exhaust.
    coolant loss with no external signs of leak.
    slight misfire on cold start.
    temp gauge going goofy,such as going hot then back to normal.

    Sometimes you can hear a high squeak when it turns over on the starter. Weird, and can drive you nuts till you figure out what it is!
