Same symptoms as my 93 CSE although I didn't have steam on startup. Didn't do compression test. I knew it was my head gasket as my 93 Aero's went out a few years ago (both around 120K) although it's was dripping on the exhaust pipe and it went out rather quickly - lots of steam when waiting at stoplights on my way to get it fixed. I tightened head bolts a couple of times on CSE and when it started loosing about 1/4" in tank to work & back (20 mi.) I set up an appointment. Then started going down 1/2 - 1", and then over pressured the tank once. Drove 50 mi. to dealer light footed to not get into turbo and over pressure. It was only a few weeks after it went from going down 1/4" until it went out.
