It is probably a vacuum line as mentioned in prior posts. I had that happen to a 900 a few years ago and it scared me to death. Under load and in sport mode, a hose probably popped off something.
Regarding the coolant temperature, although you replaced the thermostat 50-60k ago, I wouldn't rule out that perhaps it is stuck open so it is not building heat in the system. That occurred in our '99 95 at 70k. Thermostats are cheap. Try that first. If you still think it may be the head gasket, check the cylinder compression for variances.
