Oil in Antifreeze
I have oil in my antifreeze, but NO antifreeze in my oil. It seems to go through antifreeze, but I don't know from where. The exhaust smells normal with no white smoke. None of the spark plugs are wet. Car seems a bit sluggish, but it's felt that way for quite awhile now.
My general assumption is the head gasket. I've replaced the head gasket on this car twice in the last two years. I can't shave down the head anymore. I'm not going to spend a lot of money and do it again.
Are their other possibilities to cause this? Or most likely the head gasket?
If so, I'm looking for a cheap fix. Sealer liquid or something. Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions?

I would suggest compression testing plus renting a test kit for ignition fluids in the coolant.
As for sealer liquids I highly suggest keeping AWAY from them. Just think if it don't seal on the leak its gonna seal else ware (think about that long term).
Just my advice.

Compression testing: Cylinder #1 120psi, 2,3 & 4: 175psi
Squirted oil in them, Cylinder #1 150psi, 2,3 & 4: 210psi
Could not locate a test kit to rent that checks for ignition fluids in the coolant, but cranked the engine over while looking through the radiator cap, no bubbles came through.
ThatRandonGUy,
I am aware of the long tern with the sealer liquids, but I'm not going to replace the head gasket for a third time in two years. Either the oils going to kill it or the sealer, and I'd rather try the sealer.
