Check for milky colored engine oil = anti-freeze in the oil.

 

lots of white smoke out the exhaust = blown HG

 

compression test is also a good way to tell.

 

have a garage test for HC at the radiator cap

305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).  CHECK your oil, these cars use it.
