Six months of normal driving with no serious side effects

when the head gasket blew, we started having to add oil every few days, but wasn't burning oil (it was going into the coolant).

Coolant wasn't getting into the oil though.

The car ran normally during the six months, I was draining off mayo from the bubble once a week after the first couple months...I didn't understand that emulsified oil was coating every part and hose...I'm still hoping the water pump's just gunked up, and not siezed up.
