This would be a stretch, but MAYBE waterpump leak and front cover leaking so coolant gets into oil that way? But I kind of doubt it.

I suspect you have a crack at the valve seal that is reaching the coolant jacket.
Thanks darth, that’s where I’m at as well. I think it’s in the head somewhere. I’m going to pop the driver’s side off and head to my machinist. Hopefully I can get away with only pulling the driver’s side head - these studs look like they are going to complicate things with the motor in the car....

If you are brave -- loosen your six K member bolts about a half inch or so to lower the cradle. Will give you some more room to work around the studs

Gotcha! From the first discription it sounded like just some condensation but if your describing it as a milkshake and that you were having to actually ADD coolant that makes more sense!
