What are the sure signs of a head gasket problem on a Boxster? Out of interest obviously! hmm

Its white, I have been having trouble with the coolant. I've replace the expansion tank and passenger side radiator but still a small problem with it. Wierdly yesterday I filled it up and the light flashed like it was empty. Then I left the car till lunch time and the light had stopped flashing when I got into it.

Does anyone know of a site where you can look at the engine layout in diagram form? It would make my life a lot easier!

If you look into the front air intake, what is the radiator looking thing at the front? I had one side radiator replaced but this part, which is in front of the main radiator is still old and full of dirt? Sorry for the rubbish explanation! Can you help me identify it?

The drivers side air con condensor has a leak. Probably through stones but if you look at it after a drive there is definite 'wet patch' from it. Just a small amount, I was wondering whether this was a contributing factor to the coolant going missing but obviously not if the two are not related.

It seems to have settled down at the moment anyway, fingers crossed!
