Have you tried jumping the starter yet? I really hear that helps.

Oil in coolant indicates it is transferring in a pressurized area. If it was in an unpressurized area coolant would be in the oil. This may assist you in your search.

Yeah good point, it’s someplace where oil pressure>coolant pressure.

So I have about 1000 miles on the car since doing the head gasket and no oil in the coolant...also there is no coolant in the oil. If it continues to be good then the problem was head gasket seepage. Perhaps a turbo will help make sure this problem doesnt come back.
