Default Blown Headgasket?

Recently after installing my long tubes I've noticed that my car is eating antifreeze at a rate of a half-quart everyday. The car doesn't overheat. Isnt leaking from anywhere even with the cooling system pressure test at 20psi. So I bought a block tester from Napa and on the 3rd or 4th pump it went **** yellow which means blown headgasket. There's no water in the oil and the compression checks are normal (between 165-180 in all cylinders). It lost a bit of power but nothing too bad. Any ideas if it could be a headgasket for sure, a cracked head or cracked block??
