Default Yup. I have oil in my coolant...

I have oil in my coolant and I can see a leak on the back side of the head. I am pretty confident that it is my head gasket. So my question is does anyone have a write up for Head Gasket replacement? If not what is a good place to get a Factory Service Manual? I checked ebay, but they only had one for a 99. Thanks in advance.

Info:
1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0

I'd run a compression test on all cylinders as a bad head gasket usually shows itself this way.

Sometimes, heads crack. Has this engine every been overheated?
