loss of coolant/oil/cylinder pressure

One or more of the following

possibly overheating/low oil pressure
possibly loss of power/performance
possibly burning oil from exhaust
possibly steam from exhaust
possibly oil and water mixing
possibly coolant leaking externally from the gasket
possibly very high pressure in the coolant system
