Coolant loss, overheating, white exhaust smoke or milky-looking oil can mean a head gasket is leaking, but other faults can look the same. With the engine cool, look along the head-to-block seam for oil or coolant seepage, and leave compression or combustion-gas testing to a shop. If a leaking gasket is the cause, this engine cylinder head gasket set replaces it; pin that down first.
