Default H23 leaking oil and coolant and smoking

Im not a mechanic by profession but if the engine is leaking oil and coolant and is smoking isn't that the head gasket?

if it's coming from where the head and the block mate, either your headgasket is blown, the head wasn't torqued down properly, or your head is warped.

took it to honda for a diagnostic and they said it was so bad that they couldn't touch it. headgasket is gushing water from 2/3 and oil is coming out of every seal. They wouldn't let me take it out because it was declared not safe to drive. the guy felt so bad he didn't charge for the diagnostic and offered a free tow.
