How can I tell weather my head gasket is leaking? I remove the spark plugs and it seems to steam for quit a while. I can see a small amont of smoke coming out , but this looks more like steam. I don't smell antifreeze, just fuel in it. Even when I blow it out it continues to steam out for about 3-5 minutes. I retourqued my head. It does this in all cylinders at all diffrent times. Is this normal?

my sleds have always done this pretty sure it's just the fuel left in the engine from when you kill it, think your fine
