Headgasket failure on this engine commonly causes external oil leaks. Loosing coolant into the cylinders is not a typical M104 failure mode. Does the exhaust have that sickly-sweet glycol smell?

I say get it running right and drive it for a while, monitoring the coolant level. White smoke could be a chilly night and/or a crudded up motor from the misfire.
