Are you running an oil cooler? If that's leaking you'll get the same symptoms. Most likely it is a head gasket though.

if you look at your oil cap, and it has like guuuiii stuff on it, then its your headgasket!!! choclate milk in the engine = blown headgasket!!!
$50 part.
can be an easy fix, unless you drove on it too long, and then it needs resurfacing and crap
