I just checked, and it's still got plenty of coolant in it (the level is down quite a bit though) and the oil looks and smells ok. Last night it wasn't blowing a huge bunch of steam, just enough to notice and the other side was clear and normal. There's something wrong with this motor, but I'm going to wait and see if it's anything bad enough to take the head off. I just had both heads off a year ago, and then one blew a gasket right after that!
