I dont know if this will help at all but ive know of a few vehicles to blow a head gasket or two. The way I always checked was either by the dipstick ( oil was usually foamy and milky), or just by the oil cap. It was on a 1990 lemans 4 banger, but the oil cap always had milky oil on it. I dont know if yours would be quite that bad yet, but that's just one way to tell.
