Leaking coolant from head.....headgasket, right?
Well, I think I may have blown my headgasket.
I'm leaking a little coolant from the front corner by cyl. 4. Enough to leak onto the floor.
Compression is fine 200 across, and theres no oil in my coolant.
What'd you think, minor HG blowout?

When i blew my HG my compression #'s were fine.
Do a leak down, id ur overflow tank rising?
If ur HG is blown, there really arn't degrees of how blown it is. It is or it isn't, especially on a boosted motor.

make sure it isn't coming from one of the coolant lines coming from the head. Check the simple stuff first.

also check for coolant on the oil cap (looks like mayonaise) or oil drops in the radiator or overflow tank...
