Seems like most of these cars have a bit of oil leak going on. Mine sometimes gets stinky when sitting a stoplight too long. It's never made an impact on the oil dipstick.. cam plate is the easiest thing to check.

Your mechanic mentioning the head gasket is concerning, are you actually getting coolant in your oil? It's pretty easy to tell.
