500 buckets? Wow!

Your water pump is under the timing cover, I'd check that first.

To check your headgasket; Check cylinder compression, easy as that. Find somebody with a compression gauge. Also, milky oil, excessive white smoke is an indicator as well.

$10 says you have a bad waterpump... might as well replace the timing belt while you're at it.

 

yea cuz the oil is clean no smoke ill chech that for sure thankx ill paypal u those 10 bucks is ur right lol

No. Get a manual, Timing belt jobs are fairly easy.
