check under your oil cap, is it milky? if so could be the head gone, i would highly consider, unles you havent alredy, takeing the whole radiator out and high pressure washing it to make sure you got all the crap out of it.

Could there be a possibility that you have transmission fluid leaking into your radiator? How old is the radiator??? The Transmission oil cooler pipes run through the radiator and may be leaking and collecting rust from the radiator along the way. Could mean its getting into your cooling system. I dont know, I may be wrong. Loss of compression is one of two things - Worn piston rings or worn valves. You could have two problems... ?

It'll be the inlet manifold.The inlet manifolds corrode away coz they're made of alloy...

i have checked that and it dose not seem to leak but i have notice the oil needs to be toped up every 2 weeks i think the onley way is to pull the thing apart
