What is your question?
I have a 1994 Pontiac Bonneville.It has a small head gasket leak and there is a lot of oil on the motor and I can smell burning antifreeze also, but there is no oil in the water and no water in the oil. It has a ticking sound like a valve knock ever since I owned the car . Purchased it with very low miles . It currently has a little over 100,000 now. Also once in a great while after driving and turning off the motor it will not start for 15 to 20 minutes .

Hello, the "head gasket leak" you speak of sounds like an external oil head gasket leak. This means internally, the engine cooling system and lubrication system is likely not compromised. As a result - external oil and coolant leaks are definitely a challenge - but are you certain they are "head gasket" related? What inspection and testing has been performed to figure out what is going on? It's important to be clear - something more simple and resolvable could be missed.

As far as not starting, you'll need to test this when the problem occurs to see if there's a loss of fuel, spark or air when it happens.
