Take a look at the coolant resovior and see if it looks milky or not. Black or grayish smoke would indicate that the motor is running rich.

I does sound like a blown headgasket. As for cost, it depends how much damage(if any) there is to the engine. "Eagles may soar high, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines."
