gasket failure normally includes....water in oil making it mayo colour on cap or dipstick...oil in water (i used to dip some paper in tank and see what colour it was)...mysterious loss of water due to it (rarley) going down an exaust port..lost of power (main one)..... smoke from exaust....but never heard of smoke from out side it it were the case it would not have much power only way to tell is to put a pressure test on it
