Contrary to what rrgrassi thinks he saw, a blown head gasket will not cause or be the cause of using oil. There is really no engine oil in that area of the engine. It is below, doing its function on the bottom end and it is above, oiling the the cam and valve assembly. There has to be a passage of course, either internal or external to get that oil to the head, but in all the years I have spent in a shop, I have never or heard of a head gasket blowing into the oil system. There can be seepage of the gasket and it might look a little oily, but I think the only thing it can be is unburned fuel and water from poor combustion.
