I have a 1990 acura integra and I did a compression test yeilding 180 170 150 130, My car has been over heating lately and was wondering if my headgasket was blown. there is no coolant in the oil but last time it overheated there was coolant around the head which I first thought was from the water neck. the car has 175K on it, what are the chances its blown?

 

Although low compression could be due to ring or valve problems, your other symtoms are consistant with a failed head gasket.
