Max, a combustion gas sniffer is available that will detect gas in the coolant system, (~$40). That may address some of your issues.

I still haven't been able to get a look at the car.  My window of
opportunity yesterday didn't match the owner's, so probably Wed. after
work I'm going to take a look.

What's the definitive test for coolant leaking from head gasket?  If the
car is burning coolant that would show up in engine oil analysis, right?
If leaking out the side of the block/head joint, should be residue
right?  Is there an instant test for coolant in oil other than milky
color?  Can I see enough of the block/head joint or is it buried under
stuff.  Is there a common failure point of head gasket that I should
look at first?
