Yes, head gasket or cracked cylinder wall or deformed cylinder head...  most probably the gasket...  ;)

Before you panick, first thing would be to give her an oil and filter change. Do your self a favour, and only use synthetic oil. Could just be old mineral oil breaking down.
Positive vibes gang.

What's the color of the oil? With water in it, the color will change to milky or brownish....

Wet a piece of paper with the oil and set on fire... if you hear a crackling sound... water is present...

When I bought it he said the head gasket was blown and had water in the oil .when I got in home I drained the oil just a wisp of white in the oil and no sign of the gasket being blown but it runs like crap on the low end and will not idle.after messing around with it I took it to the shop seems to be missing on the rear cylinder they think its just needs adjustments .now its wait and see time any ideas on what you think it might be?
