QUESTION: the car runsl ike normal but it uses alot of coolant and it blows smoke alot there is no sign of oil or any other leakage evrything pionts toward the coolant system,how do you know if the head is cracked?

Answer
With no visible leaks,and steam like smoke,I would have to conquer with you're theory of a blown head gasket.To find out if the head is cracked,it will need to be removed and taken to a machine shop.You need to do this anyways when replacing the head gasket to have the head resurfaced.
