My 3cyl Diesel started smoking and blowing oil out of the muffler. The crankcase had alot of antifreeze in it. It still runs good, is it possible it is just a head gasket? What else could it be.

Thanks!

It could be the head gasket, head, or block. You probably wont be able to tell until you pull the head. I would do a compression test on all cylinders and write down the results prior to pulling the head. That way, you know where to look for a problem, and a visual inspection should confirm the reasons for a lack of compression on any cylinders.
