I recently experienced a head gasket leak that was steam
venting to the engine compartment, rather than into
combustion chamber(s). It was interesting in that it was
gulping coolant, but there wasn't the usual vapor in the
exhaust or water in the oil. As long as I kept the radiator
full, the vehicle was totally drivable. The interior would
fog fairly quickly from the steam getting sucked in through
the HVAC, though. So, I'm with the consensus that the head
will need to be sanded flat and a new gasket installed - if
there is such a consensus.
