My car sounds like a subaru, it does some poping sound and the car boggs alot if you step on the gas more. Checked the compression and all four was low, 75-70-70-60. I think it might be bad head gasket, what do you guys think?
 
When compression is that low i'de be more worried about your rings. Have you also done a boost leak test. Any black smoke pouring out your exhaust. Another test is putting a kleenex infront of your exhaust, if it sucks at any point you may have a burnt exhaust valve, same on your intake which means intake valve is gone and oil fill cap if your rings are gone. If that makes any sense.

Did you do the compression test on a warm motor? Those are VERY low numbers. If the engine was cold, you get too low of compression. Warm up fully first.
 
Yes I did compression test on warm motor. And Yes my car is burning oil. Some times when I check the engine theres oil all over the place. It looks like its coming from behind the injectors or some where there.
