If you have a head gasket failure you will have oil in the water (expansion tank) which will look like mayonaise and water in the oil again the same. You will also notice a loss in water. There could be a split pipe in your case and as you have no heat the matrix would be a good place to start. It could be a simple air lock (there is a bleed screw on the radiator under the passenger side bumper) Or a blockage somewhere.

Thats not true mate. . If the oil cooler has given up there will be oil in the reservoir.
Usually if the head gasket has gone there is water loss without traces, missing, if you remove the reservoir cap then start the car water will bash up as the piston comes up if that makes sense, also i have seen water coming out of the exhaust like a hosepipe.

Hope that helps.

Hi Tk, you would be better to create your own post, things get confusing when there are multiple queries from different members in the same post. 

Thanks for letting me know
