I've had the head gasket fail on a Volvo 940 T, a VW GTI and a Chevy S10.
All had coolant leaks that didn't show up on the ground while the cars were parked. ONLY the VW put out excessive white smoke, but it drove fine otherwise.
The Volvo had a water pump that only leaked under pressure while driving. Dealer never caught it on 3 attempts to diagnose. Then the gasket finally blew--but still no coolant on the ground.
The VW had a leak in a hose that was only apparent when I saw steam and popped the hood. But by then the damage had been done, with no indication on the temp gauge.
The Chevy was just old. No idea where it leaked, but I think the leak was all in the HG and relatively slow. No real evidence from outside the truck.
