HeadGasket, Another QUEstion for ya's! clutch this time Options

[PolliS_5S-FE]

Hey everyone. I have a '94 celica with a 5s-fe which I love 2 bits, I've had it for just about 2 and a half years but when I went for my last warrent I was told that the head gasket could be leaking as there was a fair bit of oil on the underside of the car. Just wondering if anyone could give me some tell tale signs for a leak as I dont fully trust this mechanic cause tried to rip me off b4. And also if it would be worth fixing myself (im no expert but i can do basic things myself oil change, coolant etc etc) or whether i should take it to a 'professional' to do. i hear gaskets can be quite tricky. any help is greatly appreciated!

Guys this time im wondering about the clutch fluid. ive never changed it myself, so i wouldnt even know where to start. does it need to be changed regularly? and would changing it make any difference? ive heard its the same stuff used as brake fluid but that doesnt sound right to me

So it could be coming from any where really huh lol. I was told if theres a bit of frothy stuff coming in the water just under the radiator cap that it could also mean head gasket leak. but i only seen that happen when i just changed coolant. I guess thats the problem with oil leaks is that it gets everywhere so its hard to tell where its coming from with a casual check. although from the underside of the car theres ALOT of oil and sludgey crap around. ive cleaned a bit up to see if it helps me see where its coming from to no avail. one thing for sure its not from sloppy changes im reeeeeally careful when it comes to my car.

its def not blowing white smoke. tho i do get a puff of blue when i start up from cold
