 I would suggest doing a compression test of all cylinders.  A
blown head gasket from the cylinder to the water jacket will show
little to no compression especially when the engine is turned over
slower than the normal speed for a compression check.

Also I believe that almost all water/oil leaks are caused by head
related damage so a "gamble" would be in your favor to pull the head
and look.
