95 ex blown head gasket?

so about a month or two ago i noticed my radiator reservoir was bubbling over and spilling out, along with my radiator being empty and everything underneath the two were wet. i used some blue devil head gasket sealer after driving/refilling the radiator for a couple weeks and it seemed to work for a week or two and now my car is losing oil very drastically. i driven it 3 times since i noticed the oil was leaking. the first 2 times it only went down about a quart or so and i filled it back up but this third time it was almost empty. there is oil all over what i think is the tranny and behind the motor underneath the air intake. taking it to a shop tomorrow but just trying to get an idea of whats wrong before i take it up there. is it still the head gasket thats blown or is it something else from driving it so much with bad head gasket.

also there's no oil in the radiator or antifreeze in the oil from what i can see.

before you messed with it, id say it was probably air in your coolant system. now there is no sure way to tell. Hopefully the shop can help you out.

Re: 95 ex blown head gasket?

OP: if it's leaking that much it shouldn't be hard to find the source. Wipe of engine with junk towels and use engine cleaner/degreaser, once clean find leak source. Can use baby powder all over the suspected area. Large piece of cardboard under engine bay and use drip spots to help islolate leak from above. Always start at top of engine and work your way down. Vtec engine?
