Although i cant ohysically see any obvious breaks in the gasket. There are some areas of question and i got opinions on it. It was a leak small enough to only allow combustion air into the cooling system and a very tiny tint mount of coolant was noted in the oil

when i spoke with a few of the mechanics at gm, they all agreed once i told them my symptoms and everything that happened, no flow, coolant being pushed out through the surge tank when cap off, coolant lines blowing up like baloons when i cap it on, how long, and different methods i tried to burp the system, etc its my headgasket. ok, i mentioned bringing it down there to get it tested, and they are like, yea sure if you want... you can pay for a tow and we can take your money and tell you what we just did. a local mechanic said the same thing, and i can describe what went down the best i can, but you guys dont see it first hand, the headgasket idea was floating around my head for quite while when messing with the car. And i did find some other evidence once i opened it all up
