Default Blown Head Gasket/Oil Leak

The other day I found out where my oil leak was. It looks like its coming from the bottom side of the headers on both sides. From the headers down to theoil pan is covered with oil stains. Does anyone eles every had this problem. I'm going to do a compression test tommorow. I also didnt see any anti freeze in the oil on the dimpstick and my exhaust is not white. The engine seems to feel like its missing a little bit but the check engine light is not on.
Thanks,
Brian

Sounds like an expensive job, what engine do you have. Have heard of the 4.6 and 5.4 leaking into that big area under the intake but not externally down the sides. Just wondering.
