Ok, this is in a 95 Civic Dx.
White smoke from the tailpipe (sometimes at idle, sometimes just when I'm accelerating) burning through oil faster and faster, as well I keep getting antifreeze spraying all over the inside of the engine compartment. I just replaced the upper radiator hose (it was pretty soft and spongy), as well as the thermostat for good measure.
I just had the head gasket replaced a couple of months ago (along with the timing belt, tensioner, oil pan gasket, water pump, etc, etc).
It seems to run ok, on my last tank I got around 37 mpg. My wife was driving it around yesterday and it kept stalling and intermittently turning the oil light on for her. She put in a quart and came home, after letting it cool down, I put in another quart.
Any suggestions?

Sounds like the headgasket went bad again or wasn't put in right (no machining). Check for exhaust gas in the coolant. If there is, your headgasket is bad.

how do I check for exhaust in the coolant?

Take off your radiator cap and start your car. If you are seeing prominent soapy-looking bubbles come to the top, then you have exhaust getting into the coolant, and you're head gasket is the culprit.

So I just ran it with the radiator cap off, no soapy bubbles, but I went and took a brown paper bag and put it up to the exhaust. I got (water) wet and wet oily streaks on it there. I also took the oil cap off of the valve cover with it running and put the paper over it there as well. I got the oily spray, but I also got some coolant spray there as well! Do I have a valve seal issue as well?
On a side note, I pulled the plugs, and surprisingly they looked pretty good- they had the nice 'toasted marshmallow' color to them. No oiliness, a little black around the body of the plug, but
I want to drop kick this thing but I've already dumped a bunch of dough into getting it fixed (unfortunately I had the head gasket done in Utah, and now I'm in Virginia, so I can't go back to the first shop and make them fix their screw up!).

Coolant coming out of the oil fill isn't valve clearance issues. It's a headgasket issue, sorry bro. There should be absolutely no oil, water, or exhaust gases mixing- ever.

I didn't mean valve clearance, I was just wondering if I should look at my valve seals too.

On a side note, and this may be blasphemous, but is there any decent 'head gasket repair in a bottle' product that may be able to hold this thing together until I can get the head redone?

Solved the case of the disappearing coolant... crack in the radiator. JB Weld to the freakin' rescue...
