Some years ago I had a new headgasket (for my 93 9k, not myself:). The symptoms were poor running and hesitation. However I don't think there was oil/water mix in this case but the error code indicated the headgasket. Naturally, oil/water mix is a fairly sure sign of a blown headgasket, but could there be a mild case without oil/water mix? Anyway, the garage replaced headgasket, but said head that head skimming was not needed in my case. Does it make sense? The car has been fine since, in fact remarkably well behaved.
