Thats good news! I had it lucky that way too...oil in the coolant No coolant in the oil. I wonder if at a certain age or mileage these headgaskets get hard and dried out and crack? Being the cause, don't know...could be other things. We ended up having to have the head resurfaced cause of warpage (drove too long that way?)...also found a broken valve guide and redid all the exhaust guides+ full valve job. Apparently oil/coolant mixture turns to acid and eats the bottom end bearings?
