Headgasket replacement is a challange! Invest in a Haynes manual for the 850, it is close enough and details the removal/installation process.

If the reservoir was empty, some of your coolant 'loss' on your first refill might have gone to the block. So top it off again and THEN note how much is being lost.

A shop can check both the oil and coolant for cross contamination, if the gasket is leaking. You need to do this ASAP rather than guessing what is wrong. It might be a pin hole leak at the radiator or some other spot, like the heater core.
