Looks to me like your valve cover is missing...

Is the gasket for the spark plug holes even on the valve cover?

Pretty sure your camshaft timing is out.



That doesn't explain your oil and coolant issues. I think you've got some major problems going on there.

If it were my car, I think I'd be pulling the head and inspecting for damage. You *could* re-time the engine then check compression, but I believe you said your coolant is disappearing as well. Not good.

I'd say valve stem seals is what's needed and new head gasket.
