Coolent doesn't always go into the oil system when a head gasket fails. It can go from a coolent passage directly into the combustion chamber.
If it is loosing quite a lot of coolent, white smoke will be evident coming from the exhaust.
Can you get someone to follow you in another car?
Use all the rev range at slower speeds. Avoid high speed roads as the smoke won't be seen.

Good call , but if there is a water leak to combustion area , then often the cooling system becomes overly pressurised.xaote wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 8:58 am Coolent doesn't always go into the oil system when a head gasket fails.

A sniffer test in the expansion tank will rule out this.
If still with a pin hole some place , or a waterpump bearing passing coolant when hot
