Possible Headgasket Problem - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I have oil in my coolant overflow tank, the caar runs hot when cruising on an 85+ day, and the coolant gets a little lower through a week or 2 period. My question is, I have a Cometic triple llayer headgasket, with ARP Headstuds, can the gasket be bad? or would my head be warped?

Im gona check my headstuds for tightness and another compression test (last time all numbers were great). Would a leaking headgasket make my car run warm? And make my oilpressure gauge drop slightly when warm?
