Check for crumbling insulation around the wires connected to the thermostat housing at the top of the water pump. That's a good first place to look. Otherwise you need to check under the engine cover and poke holes in wires going to the ignition coils to peak inside and look for crumbling insulation. Or check the service history and see if it was replaced already.
Head gasket job is huge. Anywhere from 1800 to 3500 depending on the shop. That figure is in us dollars.
If you have at least half a brain and some decent tools, it can be done yourself for about 200 bucks and 1 or 2 careful weekends of labor. That's what I did.
