If it doesn't check out OK, get their diagnosis and repair estimate and take it back to your dealer and call NNA if they won't do anything about it. At least you will have an independent diagnosis of your problem in your hand.
It gets super complicated fo sho lol. yeah i passed the combustion gas test and I dont have coolant/oil contamination nor am i burning any. In my case I know that the gasket is blown because once the engine reaches 190degrees it pushes ridiculous amounts of coolant into the over flow and then begins leaking gas into the cooling system so I probably have a head that is warping at temp and a minor leak that is one way from one of the cylindersinto the coolant jacket. Your head gasket is fuxed if after you shut your car off the hoses are still rock hard and it geysers coolant and gas out the cap after day 3 of sitting lol

Also often threating to sue is enough, get a lawyer to draft up the documents but instead of filing them take them to the dealership. once they know you arent F'ing around they will work with you. Especially if you talk just loud enough that a good portion of the front lobby can hear you, friday afternoons work great as it is a high sales time and should be full of people that they don't want to know that they suck.
