head gasket

What is your question?

I have a 1993 ford escort, it has over heated a couple of times , I check it and i have steam coming out from between the blook and the head. There is no water in the oil, I am thinking head gasket could you help me figure if my thoughts could be correct. I can change the gasket myself but if the car is junk because of this I dont want to waste time and money, Thank you
