I bought my car with this problem. Oil in the coolant tank only. Ran like a top no power issues, no cooling issues either. But there is no doubt you need a head gasket.

Wondering how long you drove your car like that? Also, at 190Kkm is there any chance that simply re-torquing the head bolts would make enough of a difference? It's the worst time to have to do a head gasket for me for a few months.
