What are the symptoms of a blown head gasket or warped heard?

No syrupy crap in the oil or coolant. Coolant is good and green. Engine runs warm at times. I NEVER let it totally overheat.

If you had a blown head gasket or warped head, you would notice a milky color in your engines oil. You would also probably notice a whitish smoke comming from your exaust pipe which is your engines attempt to burn the coolant off. With your windows fogging up and the coolant smell, I would lean toward a bad heater core. I would suggest that you pressure test the system.

There will be oil in the coolant or when you drain your oil it will have coolant in it. If you are smelling coolant inside the car then it is most likely the heater core or a connection to the heater core. Is there any coolant on the ground? Some vehicles have a tube that will drain the coolant OUTSIDE of the vehicle instead of letting it drain onto the floor

My car is making a tapping sound and i dont know what it is, PLEASE HELP!!?

Look, if your oil is fine and you are not loosing coolant down the exterior edge of the intake or heads and the engine seems to be performing normal than I don't think you have this problem.I am sure you just smell the spilled antifreeze.It takes some time for that to go away.
The heater core could be leaking a little which will cause the cab to steam up.Take it to a mechanic and have him pressurize the cooling system.He will be able to tell if their is a leak and were it is by doing this.
Most mechanic shops charge a set fee for diagnosing the problem and then its up to you to have it fixed there or not.

1993 gmc suburban, the oil filter adapter is leaking and i am wondering how difficult it will be to change?

There's no such thing as a minor core leak. If it's leaking it's ready to go altogether. Don't risk losing the engine to save the trouble of replacing the core.
