Does it smell like coolant? You would probably notices a drop in performance or rough idle if it was a head gasket. Typically one or two cylinders would be affected and have very low to no compression. It would sound like you unplugged an ignition wire or two. If you do a compression test and all compression is good and your sure it is antifreeze being burned then it would be time to look for any coolant around the water passages of the intake. Smell the exhaust and see if it smells sweet, like maple syrup. Compression test is next. Good luck. Lets just hope it was some condensation in the exhaust and it just steamed it's way out.
