On start up lots of white smoke, and it can smell a bit sweet because of the coolant.
Constantly having to fill up your coolant.
bubbles in the coolant from the combustion gases
You can do a compression test on your coolant system, and a combustion gas test to see if you have any carbons in your coolant system
hope this helps,

Well the Coolant seals don't really dictate compression as much as the Apex seals do.
Just make sure you have a jug of water with you where ever you go so you can top it up.

The engine actually has great compression. However the seals are quite bad. As I explained to Hai, he can try driving it but he'll be stopping every day to bleed the air out of the system which isn't exactly fun when your on the side of the road all time.
