Default Failed inspection

Hey all,

My 1993 Honda Accord didn't pass inspection last month due to a leak in the exhaust system.

I'm pretty sure that I'm burning antifreeze (the smell is obvious) but I'm not pumping out any white smoke. My oil level is fine but I have to refill my coolant reservoir every few weeks or so.

Also, soon after starting my engine, in first gear, I can hear a high pitched whirring sound as I rev up. On top of that, I can hear a continuous low grumble after long drives.

Does anyone know what the problem could be? My worst fear is that it's a blown head gasket. My piece is hardly worth the cost of it being fixed.

Err...sorry for the typo in the subject. Meant "failed inspection", not "failed emissions test".
