Question How would I know if I had a bad seal?

I was just wondering what I would look for if I blew a seal? what visual sighns power loss etc. Would their be oil in my coolant. I was wondering if anyone had experiance with this?
The same with my water seal too.

I'm sorry. Yes, oil in coolant, exhaust gasses in coolant overflow bottle. Loss of coolant, white smoke on start up. There's a TON of info on the forum for checking it.

Mmmmm.... what makes you think you blew a seal?
