Head Gasket question

Can anyone help me diagnose if there is a problem with my head gasket?

I have UNO Diesel 1.7

and I need to know what would be the symptoms of blown headgasket?

If i turn on the engine and open the engine oil cap.. there is a bit of steam coming out of it. steam also comes out if i pull out the oil gauge.. also I have to fill in the coolent every 2 weeks, about a litre or two.

Any suggestions for diagnosis?
