96 1.3 Endura Engine, Petrol - Oil leaking into co - ged-i

I've had a problem with my car for a good few months now.
It goes through oil like nobody's business. No noticeable leaks under car either.
I have now started to notice oil in my coolant system.
Having looked into this on other forums, it was suggested that i may have a breach in the head gasket. This as since been changed but the problem remains, and although the gasket was very old, there was no obvious breach.

The car is driving fine, not smoking or any other noticeable problems to myself, although is slightly more sluggish than when first bought - but sure that is due to age.

If any one has any other Idea's, please let me know!!!
(scrapping not an option at the mo either!!! :) )

Thanks
