Could be your head gasket

Check coolant for oil and bubbles, check oil for coolant. Check spark plugs.

thanks guys...i was thinking it's is the head gasket also but im a noob so i wanna make sure if it is the head gasket...ohhh yeah since i'll be changing the head gasket...is there any more tune up i have to get done since im not really sure if how much mileage i have with my engine...but if you look at the engine visually the engine seems it hasn't been used that much...i say this because i didn't see any oil leak ever since i bought the engine, and the sealants seems like it's brand new and i don't see much corrosion...

if youre gonna go through with all that stuff, you might as well change the timing belt and water pump.
