video: header gasket leak?

Is this a blown gasket? I just see smoke coming out of the passenger side header closest to firewall...

*hissing noise is from the air filter, not the smoking headers *

Looks like it, though I'm used to hearing more of a tapping noise with that sort of leak, as you can better hear the pop of combustion.

Could be head gasket, let it run about 10 mins, then open radiator cap and check for bubbles if there are some then most likely head gasket.
