Visually inspect the head gasket 360 degrees...if you see any black or brown goo seeping from anywhere around the head gasket, it may be blown but more likely just needs to be tightened down or torqued down properly. The aluminum head gaskets don't really blow all that easily, but they leak if they become loosened.

And yes, some power loss can be caused by this.
