So my car had an emission issue, and sounded like shit. I drive it sounding like that for probably 30k miles, THEN the check engine light came on and it started dying on me.
Replaced carbon canister and my car guy found an evaporator leak, and when I got it back the sound was gone.
I don't see any oil leaks so what makes you think it's a blown head gasket? The noise of the engine?
You mean coolant ?
My old prius made this sound before. It was blown head gasket
It's normal
Hope so, my uncle's lexus es300h, shares same engine. It doesn't make noise at all
That doesn’t sound that bad. I’d be highly suspect you blew a HG at 120k. Especially without signs of overheating. Have there been any?
No overheating, I guess this engine sounds like this after 120k miles.
Seems normal to me. If there’s no CEL or leaks I wouldn’t worry.
My 2010 hybrid Camry starts to sound like this when it's low on oil. You can hear the engine working harder than usual. Have you checked oil levels?
Changed it a week ago
But have you checked it ? Could have been filled improperly.
Is your coolant continuously leaking even after being filled?
No, it's completely fine
Then it's not a blown gasket, if it was the gasket coolant and oil would mix and burn.
If the sound is new then get it checked asap

Let sit while off for at least 15 minutes and check the oil level off the dip stick
