 MA61 engine problems.....

okie dokie.... my ma61 has been backfiring, so we took it to our mechanic to have a look....
it appears that the water in the radiator is frothing and bubbly, almost soapy- maybe a mix of different coolants, dunno- and we aren't sure whether there is a thermostat in there- didnt have time to check....
number 6 spark plug was oiled up, and smells like its running rich.... which would explain the backfiring.
everything seems to point to a head gasket, however pressure and dye test dont...so mr mechanico is pretty sure it aint one...
so has anyone else had these problems??
to me, it sounds almost like an oxygen sensor or something... running rich etc.... what are these like to find, install etc???
so yes. what does all this crap sound like?? if it sounds nasty, would it just be worth dropping in the 7M-GTE now?? (bad option, no money AT ALL)
thanks y'all
