Usually a pressure test for me is no more than $70 if it's for diagnosis, but if you can get the tool and do it yourself I always recommend that :P

or it's leaking internally into the motor, which is how the majority of these leaks go. Check the oil. if it's milky or the fluid level is higher you know you have a head gasket or intake gasket gone bad
