What cylinder is low? Is any pressure building in the cooling system? typically it pushes coolant or foam out the recovery tank if it happens.

Most likely a head gasket, but too soon to really say 100%.

could be several problems at one time.
low compression and high oil consumption could be blown head gasket, cracked piston.
oil in radiator could be head gasket, oil cooler seals or oil cooler tube(s).
anti freeze smell at start up could be blown headgasket, cracked head, hole in cylinder from erosion.
high egt could be too much fuel or plugged air filter.
