Subject:head compression leak again!#$%!

Hi all,
        I too have an exhaust leak into my coolant, I am not loosing any coolant
externally. There doesn't seem to be any loss of coolant at all, although
this may be due to a very slow internal loss that I haven't detected. Based
on the recent postings on the List, replacing all the o-rings and head
gaskets isn't always the answer to this problem.  How does one determine if
it is a head that is cracked or a blown internal head (the metal one)
gasket or o-ring is at fault? My concern is how to find a head crack that
isn't obvious or externally visible. Thanks.
