Aside from the obvious consumption/smoke from coolant in the
combustion chamber or visible leaks on the outside, some cars (inline
MB 6s, for example) tend to leak oil into the coolant when the gasket
goes.  Frothing coolant and strange deposits under the oil cap are an
indicator of this condition.
