There is a dye you can add to the cooling system which will show the presence of combustion gases in the cooling system by changing color. A compression and/or leak-down test would also pinpoint the source of the leak as well as a cooling system pressure tester. If you are unfamiliar with these methods, it may be worth your while to pay for additional testing before shelling out any amount of money on a repair you may not need.
Good luck. A head gasket replacement price should have no more than three digits.
