Default GSR head gasket KO?

blown head gasket? he was low on oil so he added some in and pulled the dip stick out and it looked like this. his motor oil has about 3000 miles already and it was pretty brown.. could it be clean oil mixing with dirty oil or do we have a blown head gasket? The oil cap isn't milky or anything disgusting looking except for the dip stick. Doesn't blow out any smoke just during cold start-up it has white smoking coming out tail pipe which is normal concentration on every car.

Pull your plugs, and tell me whatu see, there's alot more to a dipstick to tell if the HG is blown.

Correctly, but with a leaking HG Around 2/3 cyl's you'll notice the plugs are insanely clean for a sparkplug and NOT They're usually color.
The 1/4cyl's are around whats called a water jacket, and usually lost of coolent, or bubbles in the resovior will show there's a leak around there pointing also to a HG problem. Lastly removing your valvecover or drainning your oil will result in the solution of a white, milkshakish mixture thats mildly brown/white showing water's getting y0 oil.
