Rarely does the head gasket on the W124 cause white smoke out the exhaust (coolant in combustion chamber). And also very rarely does coolant get into the oil. 99% of the time it's oil in the coolant only.

I bought my car with this problem. Oil in the coolant tank only. Ran like a top no power issues, no cooling issues either. But there is no doubt you need a head gasket.
