Before I ride all fluid levels are at their capacity. There's no evidence of any leaking around the head gasket on the outside there is no anti-freeze in the oil , there is no white cloud as I'm driving burning any anti freeze that I notice it all . After I brought it home I looked at all the fluid levels in the anti-freeze was at the minimum Mark. I do know that I have a valve cover gasket leak because my oil continuously goes though that's going to be fixed today.

You have to remove the spark plugs cables and remove the four nuts that you see when the cables are removed.
When the four nuts are removed, simply raise the valuve cover. When replacing the gasket, make sure you get the gromets as well. Those sometimes get worn or crack since they are more exposed than the value cover gasket. Make sure that you clean the cover from oil and replace the gasket with no use of silicon.
Good Luck.

did you check the steering pump, AC compression pump, etc or other engine components ? it could be something other than the engine.
SOURCE: coolant leak/head gasket
If you have a head gasket leaking, and your engine is blowing a white smoke from the exhaust pipe, then you're taking coolant/water into your piston/s.
After a heavy acceleration your pressure is forcing more coolant/water into your cylinders..but don't be fooled..water/coolant is also getting into your cylinder/s when you're driving slow too.
You should get the head gasket repaired as soon as you can, or the head gasket may very well let loose and then you get to deal with having the heads shaved if they warp from the heat.
Either way..you really should get the gasket replaced soon.

Replace the half round rubber gromets at the cylinder head ends just under the gasket you replaced
SOURCE: Low coolant and oil smells like gas. No white/blue
let your car idle go back to the tail pipe if it seems to be steaming alot , and or smells like antifreeze then you have a head gasket problem or a gasket leak alowing in directly into your engine
