Pull the plugs, and shine a flashlight into the cylinder (onto the top of the piston). If one piston is clean, while the others are dirty, that is an indication that the clean cylinder is getting 'steam cleaned' by coolant leaking into that one. Every time I have had a head gasket leak (3 so far), there has been one piston that was noticeably cleaner on top than the others.
