Default Oil in coolant

Sup guys i have a b18a1 and i recently changed my blown head gasket but i am still getting oil in my coolant reservoir. Found out i have a bad water pump and i seen coolant behind the motor on the shift linkage. Is the oil in the reservoir caused by the water pump or is it possible to have a cracked block?... Help please!

A cracked sleeve would mix the oil and coolant, but the headgasket is more likely. Did you check if the head is warped, or the block may need to be decked.

I dont think the head it warped. I resurfaced a b1 head when i changed my head gasket. I'll try doing a compression test soon.
