yeah when my head gasket blew, it was leaking straight into the cylinder, no milky stains in oil. it f**k my coolant bottle, where the join is on the bottle it seperated that and was leakign and actually spraying out. only noticed this after i did the gasket and then the bottle could not hold pressure anymore, had to change that aswell. i did my timing, water pump and chain sliders all at the same time. along with high flow thermostat and radiator bottle and cap. may aswell do it all in one hit if your keeping the motor.

fair enough, motors only done 195,000 so it seems a little odd to me
