Oil leak from head and in coolant but no water in oil

This 91 2.1L (195k) I picked up used had a fan switch failure and overheated. There is oil in the water but absolutely no signs of water in the oil. Also, there is an oil leak which appears to be at the head/block interface near the crank pulley end that drips on to the manifold producing a wonderful smoking oil smell. There also appears to be a small leak of coolant from the head/block interface as well. Funny thing is, it runs great! Just drove it 600 miles and it ran like a swiss watch and got 30 mpg. No smoke in the exhaust. I've been driving it this way for a while but am getting around to fixing the problem (hopefully), I've done one head gasket replacement in the past so I'm not coming at this totally unaware. I've read many of the head gasket posts but I don't see one really like this with the oil in the coolant but not the other way around and with the oil leak. Has anyone run into this before? Should I expect to see a cracked head as well as a bad gasket? TIA
