Headgasket blown can only get coolant in the oil via coolant leaking down the cylinder walls. With the rings - highly unlikely.
Coolant could maybe be pushed out thru a crack in the block - but that is a water jacket so no, would not happen that way.
Coolant CAN get into the oil IF the valley gasket is not sealing the Manifold to the head correctly.
In this case ---- coolant LEAKS into the V of the valley and right into the SUMP.
The coolant travels through the intake manifold and the heads and that seal can go bad.
Other place that can go wrong is the timing cover / oil pump area.
Coolant travels through there and can mix with oil when there are gasket problems.
But as far as a head gasket causing this - NO, not really.
the oil goes up through ONE little hole thru the block and thru the head to the rocker arms.

Ok boys and girls I have not forgotten about all of you just started working on it
Pulled the oil pan put pressure into cooling system water started leaking from the from around the front cover ordered all the parts including chain and all the Bells and whistles getting ready to remove the front cover in a few days
Question::
Why is there what seems to me like a tranny fluid line connected to the front cover
Thanks all very very much

ok guys i dont know if anybody still looks at this but here is an update
i replaced the front cover gasket, timing chain and gears water pump as well, and the oil pan gasket
replacing the front cover gasket seems to have done the trick i pressurized the cooling system before i put the oil pan back on held it like that for a while and no water came down the block
seems like i got lucky
thank you all so very very much for all your help
keep on roving

Damn phone with small buttons, damn my fat fingers... lol.
I resealed the timing cover, oil pan, replaced the WP and tstat. 12 days later I smell coolant. It's leaking from the back on the drivers side. Undetermined if it's HG or valley pan. It drips down and hits the o2. Nothing In the oil, no sweet smell, no misfires (for now). It only drips when hot. And barely.
I'm not saying you will have the same.. just keep a lookout and your nose up. I check the antifreeze every time the truck is cold before I go anywhere. Before work, before I go home that morning. I get laughed at for my "paranoia".
