????? Not always.
Water can leak from the water jacket out (it can spray out quite quick once the water pump has got the pressures up) or passed any core plugs (which would be core plug failure not head gasket failure) giving you a nice puddle under the car in extreme cases, or in mild cases the smell of burning coolant coming through your air vents.
