Default Need advice on gasket problem

My 2004 X-Type 3.0 is losing coolant extremely fast and could this mean a dreaded cracked block or head could this still mean that my gasket is blown this is a timely matter that I need to address as soon as possible as I am in the car dealing buisness and I want to sell this car it is in beautiful shape except this problem and with this problem I will take a loss on the car if I can only sell it the way it is im a DIY mechanic but something as major as this I would need to enlist help to change the engine as I don't have the right equipment but a gasket fix as long as my head isn't warped I could do if anyone has any insight on my problem such as how to differentiate between a cracked block or head and a blown gasket it would be extremely helpful

Wrong forum, but ...

Cracked block won't hold any compression or leak down on one cylinder. Leaking gasket generally will hold some compression and leak-down and on impacted cylinder, and depending on type of leak will increase pressure in the cooling system that you can detect.

Using punctuation would make the post a lot easier to read.
