Surely you did see the first link of post #1, right? Go ahead, take the time, read through the thread. Maybe not all of it, but definitely a whole lot.
It does sound like you have a bad head gasket. A busted hose, a bad thermocouple.... some air probably got in the system, and deteriorated the gasket. Mine started with a busted radiator that I mended with plastic weld (I didn't know any better back then).
Try bleeding the system and ridding it of air. It might not be too late yet. But definitely read this thread, please
