Default d15z mini me trouble

ok so i was driving one day and the car shut off on me, No it wasnt over heating, it wouldnt start back upn so i had it towed. I finally got a coil for it to start and it starts after like 1 minute of turning over( starts veryyyyy slow) then it had compression coming out the top.(that is piston rings?)
and it was overheating so im sure thats the head gasket. would these make the car not start up right? cuz i knew sum 1 with piston rings mesed up and his started up. THX HT

Your post is a little confusing.
Compression coming out of the top? What do you mean by this?
Why did you replace your coil? You should always test and diagnose things before just replacing parts.

I would do a compression test on it. This will tell you if you have bad rings or a blown headgasket. Do that first and then go from there.

i replaced the coil cause it had no spark. out the oil cap theres pressure/light smoke , shootin oil also.

i think there might be water mixed with oil, thats head gasket right?

^^^ You would be correct sir.

Replacing the coil fixed your spark issue?

I would still do a compression test just to be certain, never hurts to test things before tearing into them.
