Is the car blowing smoke? Is it an auto? Is there antifreeze in the oil? All things we will need to know to help you.

the car burns oil yes, its a 5spd SOHC, and I havent checked if there is antifreeze in the oil, but I do know it seems to go through antifreeze because i top up my resevoir every week... not to mention my engine oil aswell.

It runs good tho, but i dont like the blue smoke and going through antifreeze and oil etc.

lol, you said head :)

but yeah, definitely a head gasket if you are going through both oil and coolant and you have oil in your coolant and coolant in your oil.
