No sign of oil, no smell, no pressure, etc. The coolant does not appear to have dropped from the time of change. The engine DOES leak a fair amount of oil into the catch pan. You will see a little puddle here, a larger puddle there, etc. So the engine leaks oil--I assume this is the headgasket...car runs superb. BUT...Am I risking the engine by continuing to drive it like this until the head gasket is done this summer? Oil is changed about every 3k Vavoline 10W30. No sign of coolant on the stick.

m104 engines are notorious for leaking oil from the timing case cover or sometimes the valve cover, a leaky head gasket would also lead to loss of coolant.... you need to make sure exactly where the leak is first... did you try some commersial products to stop the leak?
