Agree that pressureized coolant, and mysterious loss of coolant, suggest that the head gasket is leaking.
However an improvement in compression after squirting oil in the cylinder suggests bad rings.
I think you are looking at two failures. But to be sure the head gasket is bad you can get a kit at autozone/advance that will confirm the presence of combustion gasses in the coolant.
