Head Gasket gone?

Head Gasket gone?
So here's what's happening. I'm leaning towards HG needing to be replaced but I thought I'd get some thoughts.
Engine runs great has lots of power and torque (well for a 22r)
I've noticed a a coolant/oil mixture on the exhaust side of the block seeping from between the block and head. Coolant is disappearing at a slow medium slow rate.
White smoke from the exhaust with a little oil. Depending on the tempurature outside it can be pretty bad to non-existant. Especially non-existant when the engine is fully warm.
I don't know if this is related but when I brake really hard I notice more white smoke than usual.
I'm going to do a compression check as well as a coolant system check to make sure it's not the block or head.
What do you guys think..... HG?

I'm glad you said that, i have to check mine and re-pack them. I think I left my muffler bearing grease on the shelf next to my flight tape, or beside my wire stretcher or pipe stretcher. It's there somewhere.

Here's a riddle...
HG is good as it held pressure through the night. Head bolts were all in spec. Still getting white smoke out the tail pipe after decel. When the engine is running nice and warm from being on the highway for 15-20min... no white smoke. Is it condensation in the exhaust from the exhaust not running up to full temp?
I ended up changing the timing cover gasket and the oil pan as they were both not good.
