97 9000 cse head gasket question

Hi all, I've got a 97 9000 cse turbo with 230,000k. In the last two days I've managed to blow two hoses, the radiator to expansion tank hose and one of the heater core hoses. Odds are these are the original hoses so I realize that this should be expected. BUT...I've noticed a slow loss of coolant, on the order of about a half gallon between oil changes. with no visible leaks. Occasionally I do smell hot coolant but not with the heat running. Exhaust looks to be normal. There is some oil leaking from somewhere on the head. Could my head gasket be on its way out and could someone please tell me how this could be checked?
Thanks in advance,
Jared C
