Hi there..
As was mentioned in last post, what you have is a different issue to what is usually associated with a blown head gasket. This is readily tested and diagnosed. If you have oil entering the coolant this must be coming from a high pressure (higher than coolant pressure) part of the engine. I.E main oil gallery and entering the cooling system. this is normally related to a crack in the cylinder head material and not normally head gasket fault. There is really no way to prove where th problem lies. If at all in doubt ask your mechanic to fully inspect the coolings & oil systems for any signs of the problem before having any repairs carried out. You must remember that i don't have the advantage of seeing this first hand, i can only advise on what i feel is the problem, so with an issue like this, it would be wise to have a mechanic inspect first hand as well.
