You have oil all over the right side of your engine and you think it's a head gasket issue what do you think?

It may be a valve cover gasket, which is far less labor intensive to replace.

How do you know it's not the gasket and just not the sensor out?
If you think you have a vacuum leak because of a bad gasket, spray the area with carb cleaner while the engine is running. If you have a vacuum leak the engine idle speed will change when you hit the right spot.
What is a head casket Land Rover discovery?
I think you mean head "gasket" - not casket. This is the gasket that is placed between the engine block (bottom part of the engine) and the cylinder head. Your Disco has two heads, so two head gaskets, a left one and a right one.
What is the gasket that the radiator hose connects to by the engine?
On the 2.4L z24 I think you are talking about the one on top on the driver sid. That is the OUTLET GASKET and it is a rubber O RING.The temp. sensor is screwed into that to detect cooling temp. as it leaves the engine. Coolant leaves the engine to head to the radiator to be cooled.

If you are lucky, then the head gasket is blown. If you are not lucky, the engine block or cylinder head is cracked.
Why does a car produce white smoke from under the hood after the engine is off and the temperature gauge is normal?
It sounds like, perhaps, oil is leaking out of the value cover gasket and is vaporizing on the hot engine and manifold. I think if it's an older vehicle, and if you replace the valve cover gasket, you'll cure the problem.

Does a head gasket make an engine lose compression?
Verification on your question: Do head gaskets make cars lose pressure....hmmmmm, I think what your asking is.... Does a head gasket make an engine lose compression. - Correct?The simple answer is yes, it does, but it is by design. The amount the head gasket lowers the compression (or pressure) is built into the overall design of the engine. For instance, if you were to assemble the head to the block, without a gasket, you would raise the compression (pressure) slightly and potentially cause damage to the engine. This would most likely become apparent when you burn out a valve or burn a hole in the top of a piston.In general terms: - The greater the compression ratio, the bigger the explosion in the bore and the more heat that is produced.
How much should it cost to replace a blown valve gasket?
you mean a valve cover gasket i think
Your 1995 Isuzu rodeo is smoking from the motor what could hat could this be?
I think your valve cover gasket may be letting oil leak out onto the hot engine. It then "burns" off releasing the smoke you refer to. If you replace the valve cover gasket it should correct the problem.
