Symptoms of needing to replace headgasket?

Question: what are any/all symptoms of needing a new headgasket on my '92 turbo 900? I'm noticing that the temp gauge reads hotter than usual, and it gets hot quiker than I've seen it do before. The temp gauge doesn't go into the red or anything, but with this new and getting worse issue, and I'm at 150K miles and concerned, since I've never had to do a headgasket before, is it normally due around this mileage? Before I spend lots o' money at an indy saab repair shop to check compression on all cylinders or do a leak down test, what can I do with limited knowledge to test or check for symptoms??? Would they check compression for needing a new headgasket or do a leakdown test even? I guess I'm confused on how I can do a basic diagnosis if possible and what i would expect an Indy saab mechanic to do to test? What are relative costs for such tests? TIA Sincerely another classic 900T Saaber trying to keep my car on the road!
