was told had a bad head gasket,but has no coolant in oil and very little oil in the coolant.. there is oil all around the front of the motor,up on the hood and in the top of the engine between the cam housings where the plugs are located.
could there be another cause of this oil in the coolant or is it the all dreaded head gasket.
trying to locate a radiator psi tester today to check that part of it.
any help is appreciated
thanks

Hi ! , Under the heading " any help is appreciated " , I think the first step to locating any external leak is to thoroughly clean the engine and engine bay . Only then , after everything has dried , running the engine may show a leak or at least it's location for further deep investigation .

Get a compression test. Depending on milage, it may be time for a rebuild.
