Would a "slight" blown headgasket = low compression?
I'm so confused now why my compression is low in 2 cylinders but oil level never changes.
But my radiator fluid, there is some leak somewhere because it dissapears every 2-3 weeks.
Could a "slight" blown headgasket cause for me to loose some compression.
But then again, I see no white smoke or any smoke coming out from the exhaust...
HELP!

How low is your compression? I doubt that the two are related. If you were losing a lot of compression into the head, you would be overheating also. Probably a couple of slightly burnt valves causing the low compression and a slight head gasket leak causing coolant loss. Maybe time for a head rebuild?
