ok about a month ago my 98 chy sebring overheated. So I checked the coolent and it was low for the first time in 2 years so I filled it up. And It
ran ok until now. last night my car started smoking REALLY BAD (white smoke im sure) so I checked the iol and it was very low and I just filled it the day before and I put an aditive in it called no leak $7 because I had a very little leak 2 drops I took it home and went to bed . The next morrning I turned on the car and I heard a clicking sound about every 10 sec. so I turned it off and left it. I checked the oil and there is nothing rong with it not foaming or anything but my coolent was low again about 2 cups and the resevor was empty. So is this a blown head gasket and if so how hard is it to do it your self and would I need any special tools to fix is

Some enging disassembly is involved, if you have not done this kind of thing before, it's not recommended you learn on your own car! Get a pressure test and or a compression test these will reveal the problem.
Can be a leaking hose, all the way to cracked head or bad gasket.
