Hi. If u r a noob at fixing cars then u will need a garage to fix it for u (not cheap) if u have common sence (no offence) of a car engine then it can be done very easy and in 1 day. common symptoms white oil to check take out the oil cap and check the underneath of the cap it should be white gunk there. also loss of water from the tank constantly. also some cars will lose power and cough and splutter while running sometimes when its really bad the engine wont even start. Hope this helps
